Medieval-style illustration, Storming a Fort
1840s wood engraving showing soldiers attacking (storming) a castle, and illustrating various weapons and methods of attack and defence. ``The art of attacking fortified places was greatly advanced by the english during the period under review [1389--1485], as the French found to their cost when Henry V. was among them. Every town that he attacked he took; a fact that forms a striking contrast to the state of things but a few years before, when, for instance, Edward III. was kept for a whole twelvemonth before Calais, wasting his resources and losing his temper.'''
