EDITORS COMMENTS
A Model for Alfred's Navy, 1851: A Glimpse into King Alfred the Great's Maritime Legacy". This print captures a remarkable model that unveils the grandeur of King Alfred the Great's naval prowess. Created by John Callcott Horsley in 1851, this masterpiece showcases an intricate representation of the fleet built by this legendary ruler in 897. The model exudes regality and power as it stands proudly in a private collection at eWalker Galleries, Harrogate, North Yorkshire. Its impeccable craftsmanship transports us back to a time when Britain's maritime supremacy was being forged. King Alfred the Great (849-899) is known for his visionary leadership and tireless efforts to defend England against Viking invasions. This extraordinary model offers insights into his strategic planning and meticulous attention to detail. The galley-like structure symbolizes both strength and elegance, reflecting the might of British naval forces during that era. Adorned with royal insignia and crowned with fur-trimmed splendor, this artifact exemplifies not only King Alfred's commitment to protecting his kingdom but also his status as one of England's most revered monarchs. As we gaze upon this historic treasure captured through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are reminded of Britain's rich nautical heritage and its enduring legacy on global seafaring history. It serves as a testament to the indomitable spirit that has shaped our world today.
