EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Henry Taunt, we are transported back in time to the mystical Rollright Stones in Oxfordshire. Standing near the largest stone within the ancient stone circle are two women elegantly dressed in Edwardian fashion, their presence adding an intriguing contrast between past and present. Legend has it that these stones were once a king and his army who met a tragic fate at the hands of a powerful witch. Transfixed by her spell, they were forever transformed into solid rock, becoming part of this enigmatic monument. The aura surrounding this site is palpable as we contemplate its origins dating back thousands of years to 2500-2000 BC. The Rollright Stones consist of three distinct monuments, each holding its own secrets and mysteries from prehistoric times. As we gaze upon this photograph, our imagination runs wild with thoughts of ancient rituals and forgotten folklore that may have taken place within these hallowed grounds. Henry Taunt's skillful capture allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical significance of this remarkable location. It serves as a reminder that there is much more to England's landscape than meets the eye – hidden tales waiting patiently for those willing to listen.
