EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a remarkable display of chivalry and magnanimity amidst the tumultuous Hundred Years War. Prince Edward, famously known as the Black Prince, is depicted serving John of Artois at a grand dinner table after defeating him at the Battle of Poitiers in 1356. The image beautifully captures the essence of medieval times, with its rich colors and intricate details. The historical significance of this moment cannot be overstated - it symbolizes not only the triumph of England over France but also showcases an extraordinary act of compassion by Edward towards his captive enemy. Edward's gesture speaks volumes about his character and noble upbringing. Despite their enmity on the battlefield, he chooses to console John by personally attending to his needs during dinner. This act exemplifies both courtesy and respect for one's adversaries - qualities that were highly valued in an era defined by honor and chivalry. The lithograph transports us back to a time when knights fought valiantly for their countries' glory while adhering to strict codes of conduct. It serves as a reminder that even in times marked by conflict, there can still be moments where humanity prevails over hostility. James William Edmund Doyle masterfully brings this historic scene to life through his artistic vision. Through this powerful image, we are reminded not only of the events that shaped our past but also how acts of kindness can transcend borders and unite even bitter rivals.
