Queen Philippa's Compassionate Plea - A Glimpse into History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this lithograph, we are transported back to the year 1347, amidst the turmoil of the Hundred Years' War between England and France. The print depicts a pivotal moment in history - Queen Philippa interceding for the Burghers of Calais. The scene unfolds with great emotion and tension. Clad in regal attire, Queen Philippa stands before a group of six burghers who have been captured by English forces during the siege of Calais. With her hands clasped together in supplication, she beseeches her husband, King Edward III, to show mercy upon these brave men. The burghers themselves are depicted wearing tattered garments that bear witness to their suffering and sacrifice. Their faces reflect both fear and hope as they kneel before their captors, weapons discarded at their sides. A tented encampment serves as the backdrop for this powerful tableau. Soldiers stand guard while others observe from afar, witnessing this extraordinary act of compassion unfold before them. This lithograph is part of Cassells History of England published around 1920 and showcases Charles Gregory's talent for capturing historical moments with meticulous detail. Through this image, we glimpse not only an important event but also gain insight into Queen Philippa's character - her empathy towards those less fortunate and her ability to influence even the most formidable rulers through sheer determination and grace.
