EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the 19th century as we witness a pivotal moment in history. The image portrays King Alfred the Great of Wessex, known for his remarkable leadership and contributions to education, learning to read. Created by talented artist Frances Brundage, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of a young monarch's determination and thirst for knowledge. Set against a backdrop of vibrant colors that symbolize England's rich heritage, the boyish curiosity on Alfred's face is evident as he delves into the world of literature. His royal lineage is emphasized through his regal attire and surroundings, reminding us of his significant role in shaping British history. This piece not only highlights Alfred's personal journey but also represents a broader concept: the power of education. It serves as a reminder that even those born into privilege must strive to expand their minds and embrace intellectual growth.
