EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historical artwork titled "Ms 18 f. 73v King Edward III Waging War at the Battle of Crecy in 1346". Created by an anonymous French artist from the 16th century, this vellum manuscript is housed in the Musee Thomas Dobree in Nantes, France. The image depicts a pivotal moment during the Hundred Years War between France and England. In this scene, King Edward III leads his English troops into battle against the French forces at Crecy en Ponthieu. The intensity of war is palpable as soldiers clash with swords and lances, wielding their weapons with determination. Edward's son, known as the Black Prince, can be seen prominently on horseback, proving his valor and earning his spurs amidst this historic conflict. The emblem of Three White Feathers adorns his armor, symbolizing bravery and victory. This particular engagement resulted in a resounding triumph for Edward III's army over King Philip VI of France. It marked a turning point in the war and solidified England's dominance on the battlefield. The illuminated manuscript beautifully captures not only the chaos but also intricate details such as medieval costumes, longbows being wielded skillfully by English archers, banners fluttering proudly above soldiers' heads, and even wounded warriors receiving medical attention. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry from centuries past, it serves as a poignant reminder of both humanity's capacity for destruction and our relentless pursuit for power
