EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The English wait for the French at Crecy" we are transported back to the historic Battle of Crecy in 1346. The image, captured by James William Edmund Doyle, depicts a serene scene before the storm as three divisions of English soldiers patiently await their French adversaries. Set against the backdrop of a majestic windmill, symbolic of European culture and unity, the soldiers find solace in rest and contemplation. Their calm demeanor belies the imminent chaos that is about to unfold on this fateful day. Edward III, leading his troops with unwavering determination, stands at the forefront of this momentous event in history. His strategic decision to wait for the French has brought them here - an opportunity to defend their land and protect their people from foreign invasion. As they gather strength and courage amidst these peaceful surroundings, one can almost feel their anticipation building. Every soldier knows that soon they will be called upon to fight valiantly for king and country. This poignant snapshot captures not only a pivotal moment in time but also reflects upon themes such as bravery, resilience, and national pride. It serves as a reminder that even in times of great uncertainty and impending danger, there is always room for composure before facing adversity head-on.
