EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this engraving by John Absolon, we are transported back to the historic battlefields of Crecy and Agincourt. The artist takes us on a visual pilgrimage, capturing the essence of these legendary conflicts that shaped European history. As we gaze upon the print, our eyes are immediately drawn to a seal symbolizing authenticity and historical significance. We find ourselves standing alongside the artist in a private collection, surrounded by works of art that have witnessed centuries unfold. Absolon skillfully depicts King Edward III observing from the lower floor as his troops engage in fierce combat with crossbows. The Black Prince stands proudly amidst his soldiers, leading them into battle against their French adversaries. A mill on the upper floor adds an intriguing element to this scene, reminding us that life continues even amidst chaos. The fields stretch out before us, bearing witness to countless lives lost during these monumental clashes between England and France during the Hundred Years War. This confrontation between two great nations forever altered Europe's political landscape. Through this engraving, Absolon invites us to reflect upon not only the bravery and sacrifice displayed on these battlefields but also how art can preserve history for future generations. It serves as a testament to both artistic expression and human resilience in times of conflict. This artwork is more than just a depiction; it is an invitation to delve into our shared past and appreciate its profound impact on our present-day
