Edward's Cannon - A Humorous Twist on History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This amusing engraving captures a comical moment from the Battle of Crecy, where Edward demonstrates the surprising effectiveness of cannon warfare. Created by an anonymous American artist in the 19th century, this print showcases Edward's unorthodox approach to battle tactics. In this whimsical scene, King Edward III of England is depicted proudly showcasing his discovery that cannons can be used with vigorous results. With a mischievous grin on his face, he points towards the cannon as it unleashes its powerful blast upon unsuspecting enemies. The exaggerated expressions and lively details add a touch of humor to this historical event. The illustration was originally created for Bill Nye's "History of England" in 1896 and features illustrations by W. M. Goodes and A. M. Richards. This digitally cleaned image brings out the vibrant colors and intricate details, allowing viewers to appreciate both the artistic skill and comedic undertones. While historically accurate battles are often portrayed with seriousness and intensity, this lighthearted interpretation reminds us that even great leaders like Edward III had their moments of levity on the battlefield. It serves as a reminder that history can be entertaining as well as educational. Whether you're a history buff or simply enjoy witty visual storytelling, this engraving offers an amusing glimpse into one king's unconventional military strategy at Crecy – proving that sometimes laughter truly is the best weapon!
