EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Raising a Lintel, Stonehenge" we are transported back in time to witness the remarkable construction process of one of the world's most iconic ancient monuments. The reconstruction drawing by Peter Dunn, part of the English Heritage Graphics Team, offers us a unique glimpse into the phases involved in raising a lintel to the top of two towering sarsens. As we delve into this neolithic scene from the Stone Age, we find ourselves immersed in an era long gone but forever etched in history. The stone circle at Stonehenge stands as a testament to human ingenuity and determination. Through this graphic illustration, we can almost feel the weight and magnitude of these colossal stones being carefully maneuvered into position. The precision and skill required for such an endeavor is truly awe-inspiring. Each phase depicted on this print showcases not only the physical strength needed but also highlights the meticulous planning that went into creating this architectural marvel. This image serves as a reminder of our ancestors' ability to harness nature's resources and shape them into structures that have withstood thousands of years. It invites us to ponder upon their motivations and beliefs while igniting our curiosity about life during prehistoric times. Thanks to Historic England Photo Library's preservation efforts, we can now appreciate this extraordinary snapshot from our past – an enduring symbol of human achievement amidst an ever-changing world.
