Dated 8 April, 1776, this print depicts visitors arriving at Stonehenge and meeting a woman who may be their guide for the day. The architecture of Stonehenge seen in this print, as well as that of today, is the result of a final complicated, building process that may have taken almost a millennium to complete c.2550-1600 BC. Large sarsen stones were dressed to post and lintel and formed a dramatic horshoe of trilithons within which bluestones (the original stones of the earliest 'stone' stone henge) were re-arranged in an oval (~2,000 BC). The origin of the bluestones reveals a great deal about the political and community organization essential to undertake monumental projects in Neolithic Britain. An altar stone was then placed within the bluestones. The stone henge complex also contained much other stones of significance and was approached via a scared avenue (cursus).
