EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating illustration titled "God for Harry, England and St. George!" transports us back to the 15th century, amidst the tumultuous Battle of Agincourt during the Hundred Years War. This vividly colored lithograph, created by Gertrude E. Demain Hammond in 1912, captures a pivotal moment in history. In this scene, we witness King Henry V of England rallying his troops with an impassioned speech before their imminent attack. Mounted on his noble steed and brandishing his sword high above his head, he stands as a symbol of leadership and courage. The soldiers surrounding him eagerly listen to their ruler's words while preparing for battle. Hammond's meticulous attention to detail brings this historical event to life. From the intricately designed armor worn by both king and soldier alike to the fluttering standards proudly displaying England's emblem, every element contributes to the authenticity of this portrayal. This artwork not only pays homage to Shakespeare's stories of English kings but also serves as a testament to the resilience and determination exhibited by those who fought during this significant period in European history. It reminds us of our shared heritage and celebrates the bravery displayed by individuals like King Henry V. As we gaze upon this print from George Harrap & Son's publication, we are reminded that even centuries later, these tales continue to captivate our imagination and inspire us with their timeless messages of honor and patriotism.
