Created by artist Edward May, this print showcases various English noblemen and warriors from different periods within the 15th and 16th centuries. The composition is rich with historical detail, featuring figures such as a banneret of the king in 1550, an archer of Edward IV from around 1450, and Richard de Beauchamp, governor of Calais in 1439. Each character stands tall and proud, donning their distinctive battle attire that reflects the fashion trends of their respective eras.
