EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a poignant moment in history, depicting King Edward III of England standing resolute on a hillside, refusing succour to his son, Edward the Black Prince, during the Battle of Crecy in 1346. Painted by James William Edmund Doyle in 1864 for his book "A Chronicle of England" this artwork portrays the complex dynamics between father and son amidst the chaos of war. Edward the Black Prince was renowned for his military prowess and had achieved great victories over the French at both Crecy and Poitiers. However, despite his valiant efforts on the battlefield, he found himself in need of assistance from his father. Yet King Edward III stands firm with an outstretched hand gesture symbolizing refusal. This image evokes a sense of sacrifice and duty as well as explores themes such as family loyalty and personal responsibility. The windmill towering behind them serves as a reminder that even amidst warfare, life continues to turn its wheels. James Doyle's engraving expertly captures this historical event with intricate details and vibrant colors. It transports us back to a time when kingdoms clashed on battlefields while fathers made difficult decisions that would shape their legacies. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded not only of the bravery displayed by these medieval figures but also how art can immortalize moments that resonate throughout history.
