Carnac’s Standing Stones in 1909
Long parallel rows of standing stones lead towards a low horizon across open ground. The printed caption identifies Carnac in 1909, and the image credit states that the photograph was taken by the author. Evans-Wentz places the view at the opening of The Fairy-Faith in Celtic Countries. Its date and authorship distinguish this particular photograph from a general view of the alignments.
