This allegorical print celebrated the general peace. Bonaparte in the centre is crowned by Victory, who brings with her Abundance, whilst Time closes the doors to the Temple of Janus (these were famously closed by the Emperor Augustus to signify that Rome was not at war). The sovereigns of Europe come to receive from the hands of the First Consul the olive branch of peace. From left to right: The Grand Turk, the King and Queen of Portugal, the Pope, the King of England, Bonaparte, the King of Spain, the Holy Roman Emperor, the King of Prussia, the King of Naples, The Tsar of Russia.
