EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Breaching Tower, men-at-arms storming the walls; archers in the moat, shooting under cover of their Pavisors" transports us back to the tumultuous Middle Ages. The scene depicts a fierce battle as soldiers clad in armor surge forward, determined to breach the towering walls before them. Men-at-arms valiantly lead the charge, their swords raised high and faces filled with determination. Intriguingly, archers stationed in the moat below provide support from an unexpected angle. Hidden behind their protective Pavisors, they skillfully shoot arrows towards enemy forces while remaining shielded from harm. This strategic use of defensive weaponry showcases both innovation and resourcefulness on behalf of these medieval warriors. The print is inspired by Sir John Froissart's renowned work "Chronicles of England, France, Spain etc" which chronicles historical events during this era. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century and now part of a private collection, this engraving captures not only a momentous battle but also highlights the significance of arms and armaments during times of war. As we gaze upon this artwork today, it serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with conflict throughout history. It allows us to reflect on the bravery and sacrifices made by those who fought on ancient battlegrounds while appreciating how warfare has evolved over time.
