EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed figure of Alfred the Great, a prominent ruler from the 9th century. The image is taken from Receuil des Estampes, a publication dating back to 1780 and featuring hand-colored engravings by Pierre Duflos. Housed in a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection, this particular piece offers an exquisite glimpse into history. Alfred the Great, also referred to as Aelfred or Alfred le Grand, was renowned for his role as King of Wessex in Great Britain during a time when invasions by Danes posed significant threats. With his regal presence and scepter held firmly in hand, he exudes authority and power. Adorned with a majestic crown befitting his status, this full-length portrait captures the essence of royalty. Notably remembered for repelling Danish invasions and capturing London in 886 AD, Alfred's legacy remains deeply ingrained within English history. As an Anglo-Saxon leader who played a pivotal role in shaping the United Kingdom we know today, his contribution cannot be overstated. This remarkable engraving serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical artifact. It allows us to connect with our past while appreciating the rich heritage of England and its royal lineage. Through this image, we are transported back to an era where bravery and resilience were paramount virtues embodied by great leaders like Alfred the Great.
