EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and action-packed print captures the intense Charge of the French Cavalry during the Battle of Crecy in 1346. Illustrated by Major C. H. Wylly for his book "Glorious Battles of English History" this artwork showcases the skill and bravery of both sides involved in this historic conflict. The scene is filled with dynamic energy as knights on horseback gallop across a sprawling battlefield, their colorful coats of arms fluttering in the wind. The charging cavalrymen are armed with lances, ready to engage their English adversaries who stand firm in defense. In contrast, crossbowmen take aim from a distance while foot soldiers fire arrows into the chaos. Amidst it all, a majestic windmill stands tall against an expansive landscape, adding a touch of medieval charm to this dramatic portrayal. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every element: from the intricately crafted armor worn by each knight to the determined expressions on their faces. This print serves as a powerful reminder of England's victory over France during the Hundred Years War and highlights key elements that defined medieval warfare – jousting spears, chainmail armor, and archers skilled with bow and arrow. A true testament to historical events brought vividly to life through artistry, this illustration by Henry A. Payne deserves its place among private collections worldwide.
