EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial view of Stonehenge, taken on the 10th of February in 1922, offers a unique perspective on one of England's most iconic landmarks. The photograph was captured by O. G. S. Crawford, a renowned archaeologist and photographer whose collection has become an invaluable resource for understanding our ancient past. From a height of 3000 feet, the image reveals the grandeur and mystery that surrounds this prehistoric monument in Wiltshire. The circular arrangement of massive standing stones is laid bare against the backdrop of rolling green fields, giving us a sense of its scale and significance within the landscape. Despite some damage to the original negative, this print still manages to convey the timeless allure and enigmatic aura that Stonehenge exudes. Its age-old secrets are preserved within each stone as they stand steadfast against time itself. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we are transported back almost a century ago when aviation was still in its infancy. It serves as a testament to human curiosity and ingenuity – capturing moments from above that were once only accessible through imagination or physical exploration. Thanks to Historic England's preservation efforts, we can now appreciate these historical treasures with fresh eyes and gain new insights into our shared heritage. This particular print by O Gs Crawford allows us to marvel at Stonehenge from an entirely different vantage point – reminding us why it continues to captivate hearts and minds around the world today.
