EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Alfred in the Neatherds Cottage, c878" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Painted by James William Edmund Doyle in 1864, it depicts King Alfred the Great of Wessex during his reign from 871 to 899. In this scene, we find the king seated inside a humble cottage when he is unexpectedly interrupted by the neatherd's wife. With an expression of frustration on her face, she scolds King Alfred for allowing cakes to burn on the hearth. The artist skillfully captures this interaction between royalty and common folk, showcasing the relatability of everyday mishaps even for great leaders. The composition transports us into an intimate interior setting filled with warmth and rustic charm. A loyal dog rests at King Alfred's feet as he listens attentively to his subject's reproachful words. Through this image, we glimpse into a time long past but still resonating with human experiences that transcend centuries. James E. Doyle's work was part of "A Chronicle of England B. C. 55 - A. D. 1485" published in London in 1864 by Longman, Green, Longman, Roberts & Green. This historical piece serves as a testament to both artistic talent and storytelling prowess while shedding light on one of England's most revered monarchs – King Alfred the Great.
