EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The division of England into Counties, Hundreds and Tythings by Alfred the Great" takes us back to a significant moment in English history. Created by the English School in the 19th century, this print showcases the meticulous work of Alfred the Great as he divided England into administrative units. With intricate details and precise lines, this artwork beautifully illustrates Alfred's efforts to organize his kingdom. The counties, hundreds, and tythings depicted here represent an innovative system that laid the foundation for local governance in England. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece, we are reminded of George Courtney Lyttleton's renowned book "The History of England". This engraving was featured within its pages as part of a stunning series that brought Lyttleton's words to life. Through this image, we not only witness Alfred's visionary approach but also gain insight into the rich heritage and culture of England. It serves as a testament to our fascination with history and our desire to understand how nations evolve over time. While admiring this print from Fine Art Finder's private collection, let us appreciate its educational value rather than focusing on any commercial use.
