EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history as King Edward III of England, amidst thunder and lightning, stretches his hand and solemnly vows to make peace. The image portrays the intense atmosphere surrounding the Treaty of Bretigny in 1360, where Edward renounced his claim to the French throne. As hail, rain, and snow fall around him, symbolizing the turbulent times, King Edward's determination shines through. The majestic Chartres Cathedral serves as a backdrop to this scene, emphasizing the significance of this vow within European politics. This great storm not only represents meteorological conditions but also metaphorically reflects the political climate at that time. The print invites us to reflect on how science and meteorology played a role in shaping historical events. It reminds us that even during tumultuous times when conflicts seemed insurmountable, there were individuals like King Edward III who sought peaceful resolutions. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured by James William Edmund Doyle in 1864 for "A Chronicle of England" we are reminded of the power of determination and diplomacy. The forked lightning illuminates both King Edward's resolve and our understanding of weather patterns through scientific methods. Incorporating elements from German culture such as North Germany's influence on meteorology adds depth to our appreciation for European unity throughout history. This thought-provoking print is a testament to human resilience and serves as an inspiration for future generations striving towards peace amid challenging circumstances.
