EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1935 depicts a map of Athelney and Ethandun in the west of England, showcasing an important chapter in history. The map showcases the region encompassing modern Somerset, Dorset, Wiltshire, and Hampshire. At its heart lies Athelney, once a fortress that served as King Alfred the Great's secret hideaway. From this strategic location, he launched his successful campaign against the Danish invaders. The intricate details on this map take us back to a time when Roman roads crisscrossed the land and Alfred's Burhs stood as formidable fortifications against enemy forces. Danish forts are also marked on this historical document alongside other significant sites during the Viking invasion period. A visual representation of power struggles and warfare unfolds before our eyes through vibrant colors that bring life to ancient battles fought on these very grounds. This print is taken from R. H. Hodgkin's renowned book "A History of the Anglo-Saxons" published by The Clarendon Press in Oxford. As we gaze upon this piece of artistry, we can't help but marvel at how it encapsulates centuries-old conflicts while reminding us of King Alfred's indomitable spirit and determination to protect his kingdom of Wessex. It serves as a testament to both England's rich heritage and its enduring resilience throughout history.
