EDITORS COMMENTS
This colorized print captures a comical yet historical moment in English history. The artist, John Leech, beautifully depicts King Henry V inspecting his troops before the Battle of Agincourt in 1415. This battle was a significant English victory during the Hundred Years War and took place near Azincourt, France. In this caricature-like illustration from "The Comic History of England" we see King Henry V addressing his army with great enthusiasm and humor. Dressed in royal armor, he stands tall as he delivers an inspiring speech to his soldiers. The image perfectly combines elements of literature, satire, and history. The vibrant colors bring life to this 19th-century engraving, allowing us to appreciate the details of each character's expression and attire. It is evident that Leech aimed to capture not only the seriousness of warfare but also the lighter side of royalty. As we observe this scene unfold through time, we can't help but feel connected to England's past. This print serves as a reminder of the bravery displayed by both monarchs and commoners during times of conflict. With its rich historical context and artistic flair, this artwork offers us a glimpse into one pivotal moment that shaped English history forever - the Battle of Agincourt under King Henry V's leadership.
