EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in British history - "King Alfred Inciting The Anglo Saxons" in the year 1878. Created by renowned artist Herbert Bourne, this artwork is an engraving based on the original painting by George Frederic Watts. It showcases King Alfred the Great, one of Britain's most revered monarchs, as he passionately addresses his people. The scene takes place outdoors, with a group of men gathered around King Alfred on a boat. Dressed in regal attire, the king stands tall and points towards an unseen destination, symbolizing his leadership and determination. The sepia tones add a touch of nostalgia to this 19th-century depiction. Transportation plays a prominent role in this image; boats are lined up along the water's edge, ready for departure. A gangplank connects the vessel to land, emphasizing the significance of travel during that era. This historical piece was originally published as part of "Pictures and Royal Portraits Illustrative of English and Scottish History" by Thomas Archer. It offers us a glimpse into England's past while celebrating its rich heritage.
