The image showcases a walled city, surrounded by English forces in an attempt to starve the French defenders into surrender. This intense battle scene is depicted with intricate detail, showcasing the fortifications, buildings, and castle within Rouen. The print originates from A Short History of the English People by John Richard Green, published in 1893. It serves as a visual representation of this significant event in history.
