EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in English history, depicting King Alfred the Great as he forms a Code of Laws and divides the kingdom into counties. The image, dating back to 1787, is taken from George Frederick Raymond's comprehensive historical account titled "A New, Universal and Impartial History of England". In this scene, we witness King Alfred immersed in his royal duties within an elegant interior setting. Surrounded by books and paperwork, he exudes wisdom and authority as he meticulously organizes the governance of his kingdom. Accompanied by attendants who assist him in this monumental task, the king showcases his commitment to education and literacy. The monochrome composition adds depth to this portrait of power and intellect. It transports us back to the 9th century when King Alfred reigned over Wessex with great influence. As one of Britain's most revered monarchs, Alfred I established himself as a visionary leader who laid the foundation for modern-day England. This remarkable print not only pays homage to King Alfred's legacy but also serves as a testament to British history itself. It reminds us of the importance of law and order in society while highlighting the enduring impact that leaders can have on their nations throughout centuries past.
