The Faire City of Magdeburg, with its formidable fortifications and outworks, stood defiant against the relentless siege by John Tserclaes Count of Tilly in 1631, as depicted in this engraving. Reminiscent of the besieged of Rouen, the citizens of Magdeburg bravely held out against the siege engines and relentless onslaught. Meanwhile, in this engraving from 'The Book of Joshua,' we see the seven priests carrying the Ark as the walls of Jericho crumble, a stark reminder of the power of faith and determination in the face of adversity. Elsewhere, an advertisement for 'The Transvaal' promises to reveal more secrets, while the sortie of a besieged town results in great numbers drowning in the Ticino River. In the midst of battle, the garrison of a town surrenders and throws themselves on the mercy of their captors, as depicted in this 14th-century miniature. As the world plunges into war once again, enquirers flock to the British Consulate in Paris, seeking answers and safety. And in the midst of it all, the story of Judith, the Jewish heroine living in Bethulia when besieged by Holofernes, king of Assyria, serves as a reminder of the strength and resilience of the human spirit.
