EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Grand Conventional Festival of the Britons at Stonehenge, pre-Ro, 1821" takes us back to a time steeped in ancient traditions and mysticism. The scene depicts a Druidic Helio-arkite ceremony on May eve, where Stonehenge stands as the sacred backdrop for this momentous event. The stones themselves are adorned with veils depicting the dragon king, adding an air of enchantment to the already awe-inspiring landscape. Handcoloured aquatint by R. Havell brings out the vibrant hues and intricate details of this historical illustration. Created by Charles Hamilton Smith as part of Samuel Meyricks' "Costume of the Original Inhabitants of the British Islands" this artwork offers a glimpse into the customs and culture of Britain's native population during pre-Roman times. The festival is filled with celebration and reverence for their pagan beliefs. It showcases not only their traditional attire but also their deep connection to nature and spirituality. This image serves as a testament to how deeply rooted these rituals were in society at that time. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's collection, we are transported back centuries ago when Stonehenge was more than just an architectural marvel; it was a place where ancient traditions came alive under starlit skies.
