EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historical moment when Alfred the Great, one of England's most revered kings, is seen constructing the first English Fleet. The engraving, created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, showcases Alfred's visionary leadership and his commitment to protecting his kingdom. In this image, we witness Alfred overseeing the construction of mighty ships that would form the foundation of a formidable naval force. With meticulous attention to detail, every stroke of the engraver's tool brings to life this significant event from our past. The scene is filled with bustling activity as workers diligently build and shape each vessel under Alfred's watchful eye. A tugboat can be seen nearby, symbolizing not only transportation but also unity and collaboration among those involved in this grand endeavor. Alfred's determination to establish a powerful fleet highlights his understanding of the importance of maritime strength for safeguarding England against potential invaders. This historic moment marked a turning point in English history and laid the groundwork for future naval dominance. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' careful preservation efforts and digital cleaning techniques, we are able to appreciate this remarkable piece of artistry today. It serves as a reminder of Alfred's legacy as both a warrior king and an astute strategist who shaped England into what it is today – a nation known for its seafaring prowess.
