EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print titled "Comic Early English History: Danes and King Alfred" takes us on a whimsical journey back in time. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 20th century, this colour lithograph captures a comical moment from early English history. The scene depicts the legendary King Alfred of England facing off against mischievous Danish invaders. With its vivid colors and lively characters, the artwork brings to life a humorous twist on historical events. The illustration is part of the renowned collection known as "Comic Snap Shots from Early English History" by "Wil The Parkes" published around 1904. In this particular snapshot, we witness a Dane attempting to steal something precious from King Alfred's possession. However, what makes this image truly amusing is that instead of engaging in battle or confrontation, both parties engage in an unexpected exchange of wit and humor. Through its clever portrayal of these historical figures with a touch of levity, this print offers an entertaining glimpse into pre-invasion England. It reminds us that even during times marked by conflict and tension, there can be moments of lightheartedness and amusement. With its blend of history, comic elements, and vibrant visuals, this artwork serves as a delightful reminder that laughter has always been present throughout human history – even amidst challenging circumstances like Viking invasions.
