One hundred superb, full-page, high-quality line art reproductions of William Stukeley's original artwork of Stonehenge from 1732. William Stukeley was the first to chronicle the greatest stone circles in the world: Stonehenge and Avebury. One of the 18th Century's greatest characters, he was friend and colleague to the most gifted men of his time, including Sir Isaac Newton. Stukeley's work * laid the foundations for the modern study of prehistoric monuments * influenced the Druidic Revival * inspired some of William Blake's paintings This is a tribute to an increasingly relevant figure, and is indispensable to anyone interested in the sacred sites and landscapes of the British Isles.PREMortimer, Neil is the author of 'Stukeley Illustrated William Stukeley's Rediscovery of Britain's Ancient Sites', published 2004 under ISBN 9780954296339 and ISBN 0954296338.
