THE TRADITIONAL PORTRAIT OF

ALFRED THE GREAT.

This conception of Alfred's features is probably at least 200 years old. It appears in one of the Bodlean prints with this legend: Alfredus Saxonum Rex, Coll. Universitatis Oxon. Fundator. Circa A. Chr. 877. Hujus Summu Regis Effigiem a Tabula in Bibl. Nathan Bodleiana factam Reverendo viro Nathan Wetherell, S.T.P. Wetherell was Master of University from 1764-1808, but the original to which he refers cannot be traced.
