EDITORS COMMENTS
Alfred the Great: A Glimpse into a Wise and Victorious Monarch". This print captures the essence of Alfred the Great, an influential figure in English history. Born around 847, he reigned as King of Wessex from 871 to 886 and later became the King of the Anglo-Saxons until his death in 899. The image showcases Alfred's bearded face, adorned with a regal crown and framed by an ermine collar. Renowned for his intellect and compassion, Alfred earned his place in history by defeating Viking invaders at the Battle of Edington in 878. His victory marked a turning point against Viking incursions, securing peace for his kingdom. This portrait reflects not only his military prowess but also hints at his scholarly pursuits. The engraving is part of "Biographical Illustrations" by Alfred Howard published in London, Glasgow, and Dublin in 1830. It offers us a glimpse into this remarkable man who was revered for both his leadership skills on the battlefield and his love for literature. As we gaze upon this historic image, we are reminded of King Alfred's enduring legacy as a wise ruler who valued education and mercy amidst tumultuous times. Through this photograph print from Heritage Images collection, we can appreciate how one person's determination can shape an entire nation's destiny.
