In the "Westphalian Peace" of Osnabrück and Münster the Thirty year war came to an end. Important questions, such as the withdrawal of troops, were still unresolved. After several attempts, the questions were finally settled in Nuremberg between April 1649-July 1650. The work by Klai celebrates and describes this peace settlement and the festivities in a very poetic way. The engraved plates of town squares, interiors and fireworks illustrate these events. Two plates are signed by LUCAS SCHNITZLER. Berlin 2834; Harold Jantz 1492; Lipperheide Sm 5.
