EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 15th century, immersing us in the world of medieval warfare. The image showcases a crossbowman, his weapon at the ready, being protected by shield bearers. It is an engraving based on a miniature from the Chronicles of Froissart in the Bibliotheque Imperiale, Paris. The intensity of this scene is palpable as we witness the archer's determination and focus amidst a chaotic battlefield. His shield bearers stand steadfastly by his side, forming a human barrier against any incoming threats. This display of unity and protection highlights not only their commitment to each other but also their unwavering dedication to their cause. The monochrome effect adds depth and drama to this historical moment frozen in time. Every line etched into this wood engraving tells a story of bravery and resilience that defined warfare during this era. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back centuries ago when men like these fought valiantly for what they believed in. Their weapons may be different from those used today, but their spirit remains timeless - one that seeks to protect and defend against all odds. This remarkable piece serves as a powerful reminder of our shared history and the sacrifices made by those who came before us on battlefields long forgotten.
