Stonehenge: Underwood & Underwood’s Historical View
Massive stone uprights stand beneath a surviving horizontal lintel, with smaller fallen stones and grass around their bases. The close viewpoint gives the rough surfaces unusual weight and texture. The caption identifies Stonehenge, England, and credits Underwood & Underwood, New York. The photograph appears in Sun Lore of All Ages among the book’s comparisons of monumental sites and solar traditions.
