EDITORS COMMENTS
After the Battle of Ethandun (Edington), 878, illustration from Hutchinson's Story of the British Nation, c. 1920 (litho) captures a pivotal moment in history when Alfred the Great and his army emerged victorious against the Danes led by Gunthrum the Old. This lithograph by C. Dudley Tennant showcases an intense scene depicting Anglo-Saxon warriors rounding up horses and cattle after their triumph. The Battle of Ethandun was a turning point in the conflict between the English and Danish forces during this tumultuous period. Following their defeat at Ethandun, the Danes sought refuge in Chippingham but were met with a cunning strategy employed by Alfred's troops. The English systematically removed all food supplies from the area, effectively starving out their adversaries. Tennant's intricate engraving skillfully portrays both sides of this historic clash. The determined expressions on the faces of Anglo-Saxon soldiers reflect their hard-fought victory, while subtle details such as flowing banners and battle-worn armor add depth to this dramatic composition. This print is part of The Stapleton Collection and serves as a reminder of Britain's resilience throughout its rich history. It encapsulates not only an important military achievement but also highlights Alfred's strategic brilliance that ultimately contributed to shaping England as we know it today.
