The Stragglers at Stonehenge - A Glimpse into the Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, titled "The Stragglers at Stonehenge" takes us back to 19th century England and offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of those who once roamed Salisbury Plain. The image depicts a group of weary travelers seeking shelter amidst the ancient stones as rain pours down upon them. As we observe this scene, we are reminded of the famous quote from Ingoldsby Legends that accompanies this print: "It's a very sad thing to be caught in the rain when night's coming on upon Salisbury Plain". These words evoke a sense of melancholy and highlight the harsh realities faced by these individuals in their struggle against nature. Stonehenge itself stands tall and imposing in the background, its weathered stones bearing witness to centuries of human existence. The men depicted here appear fatigued, seeking solace from their journey under its protective shadow. Their tired bodies find respite as they succumb to sleep, oblivious to both time and place. Through this artwork, we are transported not only to an era long gone but also invited to reflect on our own connection with history. It serves as a reminder that despite advancements in science and technology, humanity remains subject to nature's whims. This engraving captures an intimate moment frozen in time – one that speaks volumes about resilience, endurance, and our eternal quest for shelter from life's storms.
