EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting engraving depicts Edward of Woodstock, also known as the Black Prince, in a grand reception in the city of Bordeaux during his victorious campaign against John II of France in the Hundred Years War in 1355. Edward, the first-born son of Edward III of England, is shown in regal attire, seated on a white horse, surrounded by a group of city officials and citizens. The urban scene is filled with a sense of excitement and triumph, as the conquests of the Middle Ages continue to unfold. The Black Prince's reputation as a skilled military leader and diplomat was established during this campaign, which saw him defeat the French forces at the Battle of Poitiers in 1356. This victory marked a turning point in the Hundred Years War, and secured Edward's position as the effective ruler of Aquitaine. This engraving is a beautiful representation of the historical record, taken from the Chroniques, or Chronicles, by Jean Froissart, a contemporary chronicler of the period. The intricate details of the scene, from the ornate clothing of the figures to the architectural features of the city, provide a fascinating glimpse into the medieval world and the diplomatic and military strategies of the time.
