Alfred the Great — A King Remembered
An Anglo-Saxon king, seen through the imagination of a later age. This matte canvas reproduces Samuel Woodforde's 1790 portrait of Alfred the Great, bringing together an interest in early England and the artistic traditions through which its rulers have been remembered. It is a connection to history for a home where books, stories and the past have a place.
Set it in a study, library or reading corner as a quiet focal point. The cotton-polyester canvas and matte finish give the reproduction a low-glare surface, while its compact 8″ × 10″ vertical format makes room for history without overwhelming the space.

Frequently asked questions
Who created the original artwork?
This print reproduces the portrait of Alfred the Great attributed here to Samuel Woodforde and dated 1790.
Who was Alfred the Great?
Alfred was the ninth-century king of Wessex, remembered for defending his kingdom against Viking armies and encouraging learning, translation and legal reform. His legacy made him one of the best-known rulers of Anglo-Saxon England. Woodforde’s 1790 portrait is a later artistic interpretation, not a likeness made during Alfred’s lifetime.
What size is the canvas?
It measures 8″ wide × 10″ high in vertical orientation, with a depth of 1.25″. The supplier lists a size tolerance of ±1/8″.
Does unframed mean the canvas arrives rolled?
No. The canvas is stretched over internal radiata pine supports. “Unframed” means it has no decorative outer frame, rather than being a loose or rolled canvas.
