The Isle of Athelney - A Glimpse into Somerset's Historic Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The Isle of Athelney" takes us on a visual journey through the rich history of Somerset, England. The image, a colour lithograph by Alfred Heaton Cooper (1864-1929), offers a glimpse into the enchanting landscape that once housed the fabled Isle of Athelney. Steeped in historical significance, this picturesque isle served as a sanctuary for King Alfred the Great during his struggle against Viking invaders in the 9th century. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back to an era where bravery and resilience were paramount. Cooper's masterful brushstrokes beautifully capture the essence of Somerset's natural beauty. From rolling hills to serene waterways, every detail comes alive with vibrant colours and meticulous attention to detail. This print was created as an illustration for A. C Osborn Hann's book "Somerset" published in 1927 by A&C Black. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, it serves as a reminder of how art can transport us across time and space. It allows us to appreciate not only the artistic talent behind its creation but also the historical significance embedded within its subject matter. "The Isle of Athelney" invites us to delve deeper into Somerset's past—a land brimming with tales waiting to be discovered and cherished for generations to come.
