EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph from the early 20th century showcases a regal figure who left an indelible mark on English history - Alfred the Great. Born in 849, this Anglo-Saxon king of Wessex reigned during tumultuous times, when Viking invasions threatened to engulf England. Known for his military prowess and strategic brilliance, Alfred achieved a significant victory over the Danes at Edington, Wiltshire in 871. In this stunning print, we see Alfred exuding an air of authority and wisdom befitting his legendary status. Clad in royal attire with a crown atop his head, he stands as a symbol of strength and resilience against foreign forces. Yet there is more to this image than mere power; it also offers glimpses into the personal life of this revered monarch. Surrounded by culinary elements that hint at his passion for cooking and love for food, we gain insight into Alfred's multifaceted personality. As much as he was known for his military triumphs and political acumen, he had a deep appreciation for the finer things in life - including gastronomy. This photograph print not only immortalizes one of Britain's most celebrated rulers but also serves as a reminder that even great leaders have their own unique interests beyond their public personas. It invites us to delve deeper into history while appreciating the nuances that make individuals like Alfred truly extraordinary figures worth remembering.
