EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing King Alfred the Great disguised as he serenades Guthrum, the Danish king. The scene is set in a Danish camp during the 9th century, amidst tensions between the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Wessex and Denmark. In this remarkable image, we see Alfred skillfully playing a harp while singing to Guthrum, who listens intently. The artist has beautifully depicted Alfred's disguise with attention to detail on his clothing - an elegant kilt that adds vibrancy to the color plate. Alfred's musical talent shines through as he masterfully strums the strings of his instrument. His occupation as both a musician and monarch is highlighted here, showcasing his multifaceted nature. This portrayal not only emphasizes his role as a ruler but also highlights his love for music and arts. The print transports us back to this pivotal historical period when England was divided by conflict and cultural differences. It serves as a reminder of how art can transcend boundaries and bring people together even in times of strife. As we admire this exquisite piece from Pictures of English History published by George Routledge & Sons in London and New York around 1850, let us appreciate its significance in preserving our rich heritage.
