EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century print showcases the enigmatic Druidical Stone at Strather near Barvas, located on the rugged Isle of Lewis in the Hebrides, Scotland. The image is part of William Daniell's remarkable collection titled "A Voyage Around Great Britain Undertaken between the Years 1814 and 1825". The aquatint technique used to create this print adds a touch of mystique to an already ancient scene. Standing against the backdrop of the vast Atlantic Ocean, this Neolithic relic stands as a testament to Scotland's rich historical and religious heritage. The solitary figure depicted in the foreground provides a sense of scale, emphasizing both man's insignificance compared to nature and his fascination with these ancient structures. It invites us to ponder upon our ancestors' beliefs and rituals that once took place around such stones. As we delve into Scottish history, it becomes evident that these standing stones were significant markers within their landscape. They served as meeting points for communities or perhaps even sacred sites where religious ceremonies were conducted by Druids. Through this evocative print, we are transported back in time – witnessing not only a physical location but also glimpsing into an era when religion held great sway over people's lives. This piece from Heritage Images allows us to appreciate both its artistic beauty and its historical significance without any commercial intent.
