Created by Richard Caton Woodville II and published in The Illustrated London News on September 1,1894, this print showcases a pivotal event during the Hundred Years War. The scene depicts King Edward III of England fearlessly leading his army across the treacherous waters of the Somme River while facing off against an imposing French force. Clad in magnificent plate armor and mounted on powerful steeds, these brave soldiers exemplify courage and determination as they prepare for battle.
