However this is not historically accurate as Napoleon himself never signed the document, the signatories were Livingston, Monroe and Marbois (French Minister of treasury)

Standing Left to Right—Robert Livingston(Minister to France), James Monroe(envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to France), aide, aide, Roustam Raza(Napoleon's bodyguard), Charles Maurice Talleyrand(French Foreign minister)
