Wonderful allegorical antique hand colored engraving depicting the celebrations of the British victories in America at the conclusion of the French & Indian (Seven Years) War after J. Miller (1763). The print includes figures of the Roman gods around a globe (oriented to show the northeastern Coast of America and the Caribbean), gesturing at North America, watched by George III in classical dress.
