EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut print takes us back to a significant moment in history - the retaking of the City of Bordeaux by the French during the Hundred Years War. The year is 1451, and this illustration beautifully captures the essence of that time. The walled city stands tall and proud, its medieval architecture reflecting centuries of heritage and tradition. As we gaze upon it, we can almost feel the weight of history within its fortress-like walls. The fortress itself serves as a symbol of power and resilience, standing strong against any invader. Intriguingly, armored soldiers clad in knightly attire dominate the foreground. Their presence reminds us that war was not just fought on open battlefields but also at strategic locations like Bordeaux. These brave warriors fought valiantly under their country's banner to reclaim what was rightfully theirs. The English army surrenders before their French counterparts, signifying a turning point in this long-lasting conflict between Great Britain and France. This image encapsulates both triumph and relief for those who called Bordeaux home. As we admire this artwork from another era, let us remember how events such as these shaped Europe's destiny during the 15th century. It serves as a testament to human perseverance amidst turbulent times while reminding us never to forget our shared pasts or take peace for granted.
