EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless allure of the Rollright Stones, a Neolithic and Bronze Age megalithic monument nestled on the borders of Oxfordshire and Warwickshire. Taken by artist CM Dixon in the 20th century, this image transports us back to a sacred ground that has witnessed centuries of ritual behavior. The three distinct monuments within this ancient site, known as the Kings Men, the King Stone, and the Whispering Knights, stand tall as enduring symbols of religious significance. Dating back to 2000 BC and spanning several millennia until 30th century BCE, these stones bear witness to a continuous tradition of pagan rituals performed by our ancestors. Set against an enchanting English countryside backdrop, these standing stones exude an air of mystery and spirituality. The stone circle formed by them creates an ethereal atmosphere that invites contemplation and reverence for those who visit. CM Dixon's expertly captured photograph not only showcases the beauty of these prehistoric structures but also serves as a testament to their historical importance. It reminds us that even in modern times we can connect with our ancient past through such awe-inspiring relics. This print is more than just a piece of art; it is a window into our rich heritage and offers us an opportunity to reflect upon humanity's deep-rooted connection with ritualistic practices on sacred grounds.
