EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "King Alfred the Great at his studies, 9th Century" takes us back in time to witness a pivotal moment in history. Created by the English School in the 19th century, this print showcases King Alfred engrossed in his scholarly pursuits. The image is part of a series called A Series of Prints of English History by Mrs Trimmer and provides a glimpse into the life of one of England's most revered monarchs. King Alfred, known as "the Great" ruled during the late 9th century and played a crucial role in shaping medieval England. In this illustration, we see King Alfred seated at his desk with an intense focus on his reading material. The intricate details captured by the engraver bring out every line on his face and every stroke of ink on parchment. It is evident that he is deeply absorbed in expanding his knowledge and understanding. Surrounded by books and scrolls, this depiction highlights not only King Alfred's commitment to learning but also emphasizes the importance he placed on education during a time when literacy was scarce among rulers. His dedication to scholarship earned him great respect both within England and beyond its borders. As we gaze upon this black-and-white masterpiece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of how historical figures like King Alfred continue to inspire us through their pursuit of knowledge even centuries later.
