EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour-printed wood engraving from London in 1864 depicts a pivotal moment in the life of Alfred the Great, the Anglo-Saxon king of Wessex from 871. In this scene, we see Alfred deep in thought, meticulously planning how to capture the formidable Danish/Viking fleet in 885.
Alfred's strategic genius and unwavering determination are evident as he devises his plan to outmaneuver and defeat his enemies. The timber-like texture of the wood material used for this print adds a sense of authenticity and historical significance to the image.
As one of England's most revered monarchs, Alfred is known for his military prowess, cultural achievements, and dedication to education. His successful defense against Viking invasions earned him the title "the Great" and solidified his place in history as a legendary ruler.
This artwork serves as a powerful reminder of Alfred's leadership during a turbulent period in English history. It captures the intensity and focus with which he approached every challenge, inspiring admiration for his legacy centuries later.
Through this finely detailed engraving, we are transported back in time to witness Alfred's strategic brilliance firsthand. It is a testament to his enduring impact on British history and an homage to his remarkable achievements as a warrior king.
