Meeting of Edward IV and Louis XI of France at Pecquigny, 29 August 1475
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we are transported back to the historical encounter between two powerful rulers - Edward IV of Great Britain and Louis XI of France. The image captures a significant moment as both monarchs lay their hands on the missal and cross, solemnly swearing to uphold their respective obligations under the Treaty of Pecquigny. The scene is filled with tension and anticipation, as these formidable leaders come face-to-face in an era defined by political intrigue and territorial disputes. Their regal presence is evident through their majestic attire, exuding authority and grandeur. As they engage in this symbolic act of commitment, one can only imagine the weightiness that hangs in the air. The handshake between Edward IV and Louis XI signifies not just a diplomatic agreement but also a fragile peace that could shape the destiny of nations. This photograph offers us a glimpse into a pivotal moment in history when rival powers sought common ground amidst conflicting interests. It serves as a reminder that even amidst power struggles, diplomacy has its place – where oaths are made, alliances formed, and destinies intertwined. Preserved within this remarkable print from A Chronicle of England BC 55 to AD 1485 (pub. London, 1863), we witness an enduring testament to human ambition and cooperation across borders – reminding us that history's lessons continue to resonate today.
