This print showcases a page from the renowned ANGLO-SAXON CHRONICLE, an invaluable historical document. The passage depicted transports us back to the year 871 during the Dark Ages, where we witness Aethelred and Alfred's triumphant defeat of the Danes at Ashdown in Berkshire, England. This significant event is beautifully preserved on vellum within this late 11th-century manuscript. The image captures our attention with its intricate medieval handwriting and legendary tale of bravery. As we delve into the text, we are transported to a time when Anglo-Saxon warriors fought valiantly against invading forces. The surrender of the Danes in this epic battle marked a turning point in history and solidified Aethelred and Alfred's place as heroic figures. The use of vellum adds an extra layer of authenticity to this remarkable artifact, reminding us that it was painstakingly crafted by skilled hands centuries ago. Each stroke of ink on this delicate material tells a story that has stood the test of time. As we gaze upon this photo print, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its profound historical significance.
