EDITORS COMMENTS
Castlerigg Stone Circle, Early 1900s: A Vintage Glimpse into the Past Castlerigg Stone Circle, located in the picturesque county of Cumbria in England, is one of the oldest and most mystifying stone circles in the United Kingdom. This image, captured in the early 1900s, offers a rare and intriguing glimpse into the past, as documented by The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online. The photograph, taken during the Victorian or Edwardian era, depicts the enigmatic stone circle bathed in the soft, ethereal glow of a lantern. The circle, composed of seventy-two stones, is believed to date back to around 3000 BC, making it older than Stonehenge. The stones, standing tall against the backdrop of the rolling Cumbrian hills, exude an aura of mystery and intrigue, inviting us to ponder the secrets of the past. The vintage photograph, with its grainy texture and muted colors, transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine the experiences of the intrepid explorers and antiquarians who ventured to this remote and enigmatic site. The absence of modern distractions, such as cars, power lines, and other signs of civilization, further enhances the sense of timelessness and wonder. The Castlerigg Stone Circle, with its rich history and enduring allure, continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world. This vintage photograph, preserved in The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, serves as a poignant reminder of the power of photography to transport us through time and to connect us with the past.
