EDITORS COMMENTS

In this scene, King Alfred the Great is shown dividing his loaf of bread with a humble pilgrim. The image beautifully captures the essence of family life and religious devotion during that era. The engraving showcases intricate details such as clothing styles of that time, including King Alfred's regal attire and the pilgrim's simple garments. The coat of arms belonging to the Stationers Company is prominently displayed beneath, symbolizing their dedication to promoting literature and knowledge. What makes this artwork truly remarkable is its portrayal of humanity's shared struggles. It highlights themes like poverty and social inequality while emphasizing acts of kindness towards those less fortunate. This historical piece reminds us that even monarchs can display empathy for their subjects. Displayed at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery in London, United Kingdom, this print serves as a poignant reminder of our collective responsibility to care for one another.
