King Alfred in the Cowherds Hut - A Glimpse into English History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This coloured engraving, titled "King Alfred in the Cowherds Hut" offers a fascinating insight into the rich tapestry of English history. Created by an anonymous 19th-century English School artist, this print captures a pivotal moment from The Children's Picture-Book of English History (1859). The image depicts King Alfred, one of Britain's most revered monarchs, seeking refuge in a humble cowherd's hut during his struggle against Viking invasions. With contemporary hand colouring adding depth and vibrancy to the scene, every detail comes alive. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back to a time when England was embroiled in turmoil and uncertainty. King Alfred's presence exudes resilience and determination as he strategizes within these modest surroundings. Notably, this print also serves as a testament to the enduring cultural exchange between Germany and Great Britain. It is through such historical narratives that German audiences can appreciate their shared heritage with their British counterparts. With its depiction of an iconic figure like King Alfred amidst rustic simplicity, this artwork invites us to reflect on our own struggles and triumphs throughout history. It reminds us that even in times of adversity, strength can be found within unexpected places. In preserving this visual treasure from Bridgeman Images' private collection, Fine Art Finder ensures that future generations can continue to explore and celebrate the diverse cultures that have shaped Europe over centuries
