EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the grandeur of London Bridge and the Tower of London during the 15th century. The image showcases Charles, Duke of Orleans, a renowned French poet, as he finds solace within the walls of this historic fortress. In one scene, we see him immersed in his writing inside the Tower of London, capturing his thoughts and emotions on parchment. As our gaze shifts to another window, we witness Charles sending a letter out into the world from this very spot. It is here that he poured his heart and soul onto paper during his 25-year exile in England after being captured at Agincourt in 1415. His poems written in English gained him great acclaim and solidified his legacy as one of France's most esteemed courtly poets. The tower itself stands tall against the backdrop of an enchanting cityscape along the River Thames. Its imposing presence serves as a reminder not only of its fortification but also its significance as a symbol of power and royalty. Through this remarkable print by Jessie Noakes from Art History and Literature Illustrations, we are transported to an era where poetry intertwined with politics and love flourished amidst turbulent times. It offers us a glimpse into both history's pages and Charles' creative sanctuary within these hallowed walls.
