The English wait for the French at the Battle of Crecy, France 1346 (1864). The English army lay down on the ground to rest whilst waiting for the French troops at Crecy.

EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this lithograph by James William Edmund Doyle, we are transported back to the defining moments of the Hundred Years War. The scene depicts a crucial pause in the battle as the English army rests on the ground, eagerly awaiting their formidable French adversaries at Crecy. Divided into three divisions under King Edward III's command, the English forces strategically position themselves near a windmill to gain a comprehensive view of the battlefield. Clad in medieval armor and armed with longbows, these brave soldiers epitomize resilience and determination. The significance of this historic encounter is palpable as we witness an outnumbered English army preparing for what would become a remarkable victory. The impact of their skilled longbowmen played a pivotal role in turning tides against their larger French counterparts. Doyle's meticulous attention to detail transports us back to 14th-century Picardie, France. Through his masterful use of color and composition, he captures both tension and anticipation among these valiant men who await their fate on that fateful day. This lithograph from Heritage Images serves as a powerful reminder of one of history's most significant battles - where courage triumphed over overwhelming odds. It stands as a testament to human resilience and strategic prowess amidst times of war.
