EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history, depicting Alfred the Great's galleys fiercely attacking Viking Dragon ships in 897 AD. The illustration, taken from Hutchisons Story of the British Nation dating back to c. 1920, showcases Henry A. Payne's exceptional talent in color lithography. The scene unfolds amidst billowing smoke and raging waters surrounding the Isle of Wight. With their sails unfurled and oars cutting through the sea, Alfred's galleys engage in a desperate battle against the invading Danish Vikings. The burning longboats bear witness to the intensity of this clash between two formidable forces. Alfred, King of Wessex from 871-899, stands as a symbol of English defense against foreign invaders during this tumultuous era. His soldiers valiantly fight off these pirate-like vessels with great determination and courage. Intriguingly composed with meticulous attention to detail, this artwork transports us back to an age when Britain faced constant threats from Scandinavian marauders seeking conquests on its shores. It serves as a poignant reminder of our ancestors' resilience and unwavering spirit in defending their homeland. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece housed within a private collection today, it is impossible not to be captivated by the sheer magnitude of this confrontation at sea—a conflict that shaped England's destiny for centuries to come.
