The peace negotiations took place in a camp errected especially for the purpose. The broadsheet's two central fields offer the location with a map of the Danube near Karlowitz and a picture of the wooden house errected for the conference. The division of rooms followed the model of the palace of Rijswick. The Turkish, Imperial, English and Dutch delegations had seperate rooms grouped around the central conference hall. Before the house was erected the conference took place in a camp of tents with the delegates accomodated in tents as dispayed with the Dutch tent of Colyer.[1]
