EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Woodhenge, located in Wiltshire. The image depicts a reconstruction drawing by Peter Dunn, a talented member of the English Heritage Graphics Team. Dating back to around 2400 BC during the Neolithic period, this ancient site holds immense historical significance. Woodhenge is an enclosure that offers us a glimpse into prehistoric times and serves as a testament to human ingenuity. Unlike its more famous counterpart Stonehenge, Woodhenge was constructed using timber posts instead of stone monoliths. This unique feature sets it apart from other archaeological sites and adds to its allure. The graphic representation beautifully captures the essence of Woodhenge's original form with its roofed structure intact. It allows viewers to envision how this circular monument would have appeared thousands of years ago when it was still in use. As a designated World Heritage Site, Woodhenge stands as a symbol of our shared heritage and cultural legacy. Its mysterious purpose continues to intrigue archaeologists and historians alike, sparking endless speculation about its role within ancient society. Mike Seaforth's expert photography skillfully brings out the intricate details of this extraordinary reconstruction drawing, allowing us to appreciate both the artistry involved in creating such an illustration and the architectural marvel that once stood at Woodhenge.
