The captivating print titled "History of France: Aid sent to the defenseurs of the island of Re by Cardinal Richelieu" takes us back in time to a significant moment during the Siege de la Rochelle in 1627.

In this historical depiction, we witness Cardinal Richelieu's aid being delivered under cover of darkness to the defenders of the island of Re. The cardinal's forces are shown bravely repelling both Rochelle Huguenots and English Protestants led by the Duke of Buckingham. This pivotal event played a crucial role in preserving French control over La Rochelle. Maurice Leloir skillfully captures the essence and drama of this battle with remarkable attention to detail.
