EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment from the 9th century, depicting King Alfred the Great dividing his loaf with a poor pilgrim. The image, created in 1772 by an unknown artist, showcases the concept of generosity and compassion that defined this legendary monarch. Alfred, who reigned as king of Wessex from 871 to 899, became renowned for his unwavering defense against Danish invaders. However, it is his act of sharing food with a destitute pilgrim that truly exemplifies his character. In this engraving, we witness Alfred's benevolence as he selflessly breaks bread with a man in poverty. The monochrome composition adds depth and intensity to the scene while emphasizing the significance of this encounter. The print collector has masterfully captured both the royal stature of King Alfred and the humble presence of the pilgrim. Beyond its historical context, this image serves as a reminder of our shared humanity and our duty to help those less fortunate. It highlights how acts of kindness can transcend time and inspire generations to come. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph print, let us reflect on King Alfred's legacy – not only as a sovereign defending his kingdom but also as an embodiment of compassion and empathy towards others in need.
