Alfred's Last War - Third Phase, 893. April to (?) June, (1935)
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back in time to the tumultuous period of Viking invasion in 9th century England. The map showcases the strategic fortifications known as Burhs, built by the Anglo-Saxon King Alfred the Great, along with Danish forts and other significant sites during this era of conflict. The monochrome aesthetic adds a sense of historical authenticity to this image from "A History of the Anglo-Saxons" by R. H. Hodgkin, published in 1935. It transports us to a time when kingdoms clashed and alliances were tested on the shores of Britain. As we study this map closely, we can almost feel ourselves standing alongside King Alfred himself, surveying his kingdom and plotting strategies against his Viking adversaries. The intricate details reveal not only geographical locations but also illustrate how these ancient fortifications played a crucial role in defending England's southern coast. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of our rich heritage and reminds us that even amidst turmoil and war, great leaders like Alfred emerged to protect their people and preserve their way of life. It is an invaluable piece for history enthusiasts seeking insight into one of England's most iconic figures – King Alfred the Great – who shaped the destiny of an entire nation through courage and determination.
