EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of Stonehenge, taken in Wiltshire around 1830 by artist James Bridges, transports us back to a mystical era. The image captures the essence of England's rich history and religious significance. Against the backdrop of a serene countryside, this prehistoric architectural marvel stands tall as a testament to ancient worship practices. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring life to this Neolithic stone circle, evoking a sense of awe and wonder. As we gaze upon it, we can almost feel the presence of those who once gathered here for solstice celebrations or other sacred rituals. In the foreground, people are depicted engaging with Stonehenge - perhaps contemplating its enigmatic purpose or simply admiring its grandeur. Their inclusion adds depth and scale to this historic monument that has stood for centuries. Stonehenge's status as a World Heritage Site recognized by UNESCO further emphasizes its global importance. This 19th-century depiction allows us to appreciate how it has endured through time as an iconic symbol of British heritage. James Bridges' watercolor painting skillfully captures both the physicality and spiritual aura surrounding Stonehenge during the mid-20th century when this print was created. It serves as a reminder that even in modern times, we remain fascinated by our ancestors' ingenuity and their connection to something greater than ourselves. As we delve into Early Britain through Jacquetta Hawkes' book from which this print originates, let us immerse ourselves in the rich tapestry of history woven
