EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 1723 print depicts the ancient landscape of Avebury, a site of profound historical significance in England. The image, titled "Prospect of the Temple on Overton Hill - The Hakpen or head of the snake in the ruins," offers a captivating view of the Avebury temple complex as seen from Overton Hill. The ruins of the temple, which date back to the Neolithic and Bronze Ages, are depicted in the foreground, with the distinctive Silbury Hill rising in the background. William Stukeley, a prominent antiquarian and scholar of the time, wrote extensively about Avebury, referring to it as "Abury, the chief patriarchal temple of the island." Stukeley's belief that the site held significant religious and historical importance was shared by many of his contemporaries, who saw the ruins as evidence of the ancient civilization that once thrived in Britain. The print reveals the intricate layout of the temple complex, which includes a series of concentric circles, mounds, and avenues. The roads leading to the site are also visible, indicating that Avebury was an important place of pilgrimage and gathering for ancient communities. The print's title refers to the belief that the temple complex represented a serpent or dragon, with the ruins forming the head of the creature. This interpretation was popular among antiquarians and scholars of the time, who saw the ancient sites of Britain as evidence of the country's rich mythological heritage. Today, Avebury remains an intriguing and mysterious place, attracting visitors from around the world who seek to uncover the secrets of this ancient landscape. This stunning print offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the temple at Avebury was a sacred place of pilgrimage and wonder.
