EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the legendary figure of King Alfred the Great, dating back to 1785. The portrait, taken from Harrisons Edition of Rapins History of England by Paul Rapin de Thoyras, offers a glimpse into the life and reign of this influential monarch. King Alfred stands tall with an air of regality, his bearded face exuding wisdom and strength. As one gazes upon this image, it is impossible not to feel transported back in time to medieval England. The monochrome tones add a sense of timelessness to the picture, emphasizing its historical significance. This engraving captures the essence of a man who shaped English history during the 9th century. King Alfred's importance as a sovereign cannot be overstated; he was known for his strategic military victories against Viking invasions and for promoting education and literacy throughout his kingdom. As king of Wessex, he unified various Anglo-Saxon territories under his rule. The anonymous artist behind this print has skillfully portrayed King Alfred's royal presence through intricate details such as his majestic crown and dignified posture. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, we can still appreciate and honor those who have left an indelible mark on our shared heritage. This remarkable piece from The Print Collector collection allows us to connect with history in a tangible way – reminding us that great leaders like King Alfred continue to inspire generations long after their time has passed.
