EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print titled "Battles of the British Army, Poitiers, the Last Stand of King John of France" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Richard Caton Woodville II in 1894, this artwork showcases a pivotal event during the Hundred Years War. The scene depicts King John of France valiantly leading his troops into battle against the British army at Poitiers. Clad in traditional plate armor and mounted on majestic horses, both sides engage fiercely in combat. The intensity and bravery displayed by these soldiers is palpable as they fight for their respective nations. Woodville's attention to detail is evident through his meticulous rendering of each soldier's attire and weaponry. From armoured clothing to mesh-sized armor, every element reflects the historical accuracy that captivates viewers. Notably, amidst this sea of male soldiers are female combatants who stand shoulder-to-shoulder with their comrades-in-arms. This inclusion highlights the diverse nature of military service during this era. As we gaze upon this powerful image, it serves as a reminder not only of the courage exhibited by those involved but also sheds light on an important chapter in European history. Through its vivid portrayal and historical significance, this lithograph print transports us back to a time when kingdoms clashed and heroes emerged from within their ranks.
