EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from c1880 depicts the legendary Richard I, Coeur de Lion, landing at Jaffa (Joppa) in September 1191 during the Third Crusade. Known for his courage and leadership, Richard led the crusaders against the formidable Muslim leader Saladin in a fierce battle for control of the Holy Land.
In this momentous scene, Richard is reported to have leaped into the water with unwavering determination, crying out "Cursed forever be he who follows me not." His steadfast resolve and fearless spirit inspired his troops as they fought valiantly to hold Jaffa against Saladin's forces.
After a series of intense battles and strategic maneuvers, Richard ultimately recaptured Jaffa on July 31st before signing a historic truce with Saladin in September. The Treaty of Jaffa guaranteed a three-year ceasefire, bringing temporary peace to the war-torn region.
Richard's legacy as a warrior king and champion of Christianity endures through centuries, immortalized in this striking wood engraving that captures the intensity and drama of his daring exploits during one of history's most epic conflicts.
