EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment from the 9th century, depicting King Alfred in disguise being rebuked by a Neat Herds Wife for letting the cakes burn. The scene is taken from "New Complete and Authentic History of England" by Edward Barnard, published in London in 1783. In this intriguing image, we see King Alfred seeking shelter on the Somerset Levels under an assumed identity. Unbeknownst to the woman who offers him refuge, he becomes preoccupied with matters of his kingdom and allows the cakes he adores to burn. The Neat Herds Wife stands before him, scolding him for his negligence. The photograph beautifully portrays domestic life during this era, showcasing a rustic interior with a hearth where the fire has caused chaos. The attention to detail is evident as we observe various elements such as books, decorative frames, and traditional clothing worn by both characters. This historical snapshot not only provides insight into King Alfred's legendary persona but also highlights everyday life in rural Britain during that time period. It serves as a reminder that even great kings can be distracted by mundane tasks while facing monumental challenges. Overall, this print invites us to reflect upon history's hidden moments and reminds us that even those who shape nations are not immune to human fallibility.
