EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic print captures a dramatic moment in Brighton's past, when the town was known as Brighthelmstone and faced an attack by the French Fleet in 1545. The image transports us back to the 16th century, where we witness English ships bravely defending their coastal town against foreign invaders.
The scene is filled with tension and action as the French ships approach from the sea, while English defenders on land prepare to fight back. The chaos of battle is palpable in this detailed depiction of a pivotal moment in Brighton's history.
As we study this print, we are reminded of the resilience and bravery of those who defended their home against overwhelming odds. It serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of protecting our shores and standing strong in times of conflict.
Through this image, we gain a glimpse into the past and are able to appreciate the sacrifices made by those who came before us. It is a testament to the enduring spirit of Brighton and its people, who have weathered many storms throughout history.
Mary Evans Picture Library has preserved this important piece of Brighton's heritage for future generations to learn from and appreciate. It stands as a tribute to those who fought valiantly to protect their town from harm centuries ago.
