Convention of Friendship, Commerce and Navigation between the Republic of Texas and the Hanseatic Republics of Lubeck, Bramen and Hamburg
Description:
Framed treaty with green velvet background. Has parallel pages with English and German text. Wooden frame is gold-polished. Dated April 17, 1844.
Description:
Historical Note: The Hanseatic Republics were composed of the three free Hanseatic cities that remained by the late 18th century: Bremen, Lubeck, and Hamburg. When the United States announced its independence from Great Britain in 1776, these three free cities were sovereign, independent city-states within the holy Roman empire. Napoleon Bonaparte dissolved the holy Roman empire in 1806, and in 1811 annexed Bremen, Lubeck, and Hamburg directly to the first French empire. The three Hanseatic cities regained independence in 1813, and the 1815 Congress of Vienna reaffirmed that Bremen, Lubeck, and Hamburg were independent and sovereign city-states. The Convention of Friendship, Commerce and Navigation between the Republic of Texas and the Hanseatic republics of Lubeck, Bremen and Hamburg was signed on April 17, 1844.
