Caption

Stonehenge, Salisbury Plain, Wiltshire, 1894. Prehistoric monument of standing stones aligned to the sunset of the winter solstice and the opposing sunrise of the summer solstice. Stonehenge was constructed from 3000 BC to 2000 BC by people who left no written records, so it's purpose remains unclear. The great Neolithic Sarsen circle was erected between 2500 and 2000 BC. From Beautiful Britain; views of our stately homes. [The Werner Company of Chicago, 1894]
