EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Queen Philippa pleading with King Henry III of England to spare the lives of the Burgers of Calais" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by the French School in the 19th century, this print beautifully captures Queen Philippa's plea for mercy. Set against a backdrop of a tented dwelling, we witness Queen Philippa, adorned in regal attire, fervently beseeching King Henry III. The black and white illustration adds an air of solemnity and intensity to the scene. The year is 1347, during the Middle Ages when monarchies held immense power. The Burgers of Calais face imminent execution as punishment for their city's resistance against English forces. In this pivotal moment, Queen Philippa uses her influence as queen consort to intercede on behalf of these brave men. The engraving not only showcases historical figures such as Philip VI of Valois but also highlights themes like monarchy and royalty that were prevalent during that era. It serves as a reminder that even amidst political tensions and conflicts between nations, compassion can prevail. Preserved in private collection today, this artwork was originally part of Histoire de France en Estampes (History of France in Prints), published around 1825 by Librairie d'Education Pierre Blanchard in Paris. Its inclusion here allows us to appreciate both its artistic merit and its historical significance within European history.
