Stonehenge, (c1920)
Stonehenge, (c1920). A reconstruction of the stone circle as it looked up to 5, 000 years ago when it was built, and a view in modern times showing how the stones have fallen over time. The Stonehenge complex on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire evolved in a series of stages between about 3100 and 1600 BC. The great Neolithic Sarsen circle was erected between 2500 and 2000 BC.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Stonehenge, offering a glimpse into its ancient past and contrasting it with its current state. Taken around 1920, this image presents a reconstruction of the stone circle as it appeared when it was first built approximately 5,000 years ago. The intricate arrangement of massive stones stands tall and proud, representing the Neolithic era's architectural prowess. Over time, however, these mighty stones have succumbed to the passage of time and now lie fallen in disarray. This modern view reveals how nature has taken its toll on this historical site. Located on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England, Stonehenge underwent various stages of development between 3100 and 1600 BC. The construction of the imposing Sarsen circle took place from 2500 to 2000 BC during this evolutionary process. As one gazes upon this monochrome photograph from Walter Hutchinson's "Story of the British Nation" they are transported back in time to witness an awe-inspiring religious monument that once held great significance for prehistoric paganism. Stonehenge continues to be a prominent tourist attraction today due to its enigmatic history and remarkable architecture. This print serves as a reminder not only of our ancestors' ingenuity but also their deep connection with spirituality and reverence for natural elements like rocks and stone circles.
