EDITORS COMMENTS
Great image of an aerial view reconstruction drawing of the Stonehenge landscape as it may have appeared around 1600 BC. This illustration, created by renowned archaeological artist Peter Dunn, provides a unique perspective on this world heritage site located in Wiltshire, England. The intricate watercolor graphic depicts Stonehenge at the center surrounded by various structures and features believed to have been part of the ancient ritual landscape. The meticulous attention to detail is evident in the representation of the henge monument itself, with its iconic stone circles and trilithons, as well as the surrounding circular and oval enclosures, avenues, and pit alignments. The illustration also highlights the proximity of the River Avon and the extensive woodlands that once covered the area, providing context to the landscape and enhancing our understanding of the ancient community that inhabited this region. The use of watercolor adds a sense of depth and texture, making it an engaging and informative visual representation of the Stonehenge landscape during the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods. This illustration is an invaluable resource for researchers, educators, and anyone interested in the history and archaeology of Stonehenge and its surrounding landscape. It offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to imagine the sights, sounds, and sensations of this fascinating place over 4,000 years ago. Historic England Photo Library, through their dedication to preserving and sharing historical images, has made this reconstruction drawing available for all to appreciate and learn from. This image is not only a testament to the rich history of Stonehenge but also a reminder of the importance of ongoing research and exploration in understanding our past.
