EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century depicts a significant historical moment - Talbot Earl of Shrewsbury planting his banner on the walls of Rouen. The image, part of a private collection, is an illustration for "The Chronicles of Enguerrand de Monstrelet" translated by Thomas Johnes in 1840. The scene transports us back to the cruel civil wars between the Houses of Orleans and Burgundy. As contemporary authorities recount, Talbot Earl of Shrewsbury boldly asserts his presence by firmly placing his banner atop the formidable walls of Rouen. This act symbolizes power, determination, and unwavering loyalty to one's cause. The intricate details captured in this engraving bring history to life. From the architectural grandeur of Rouen's walls to every fold in Talbot's flag, each element tells a story. The artist skillfully employs shades of black and white to evoke a sense of timelessness and drama. Located in Upper Normandy, France - within Europe's rich tapestry - Rouen serves as both backdrop and witness to this historic event. Its significance extends beyond its physical borders; it represents an era marked by conflict but also resilience.
