EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Alfred in the Neatherds Cottage" transports us back to a significant moment in English history. Engraved by A. H. Payne and colored lithographed, this artwork showcases the talent of Wilkie, David (1785-1841) as it depicts an intriguing scene from the life of Alfred the Great (849-99), King of Wessex. In this image, we witness Alfred disguised as a peasant seeking refuge in a humble cottage. The atmosphere is filled with smoke rising from the hearth, creating an air of mystery and secrecy. Surrounded by arrows and weaponry, we can sense that danger lurks nearby. The focal point of this composition is Alfred himself, scolded for accidentally burning some cakes while attempting to cook incognito. This incident has become legendary and symbolizes his humility despite being a ruler. With his walking stick or cane in hand, he blends seamlessly into his surroundings. This artwork beautifully captures both the historical significance and human aspect of Alfred's story. It reminds us that even great leaders like him faced challenges and had moments of vulnerability. Through its intricate details and vibrant colors, this print invites us to delve deeper into English history while appreciating the artistry behind it.
