View of the appearance of the Royal Garden of Madrid on the occasion of the signing of the Treaty of Paris (10 February 1763), which ended hostilities between Great Britain, France and Spain following the Seven Years’ War. After this, the British Empire became the European power with the largest number of overseas possessions, after France renounced some of them.
