EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Menhir Sanctifie A Ploemeur, Pres Lannion, Cotes-du-Nord" takes us on a journey to the distant past. Created by an anonymous French artist in the 19th century, this print showcases a significant historical artifact known as the Menhir Sanctifie. The Menhir Sanctifie stands tall and proud amidst its surroundings near Lannion in Cotes-du-Nord. This prehistoric monument holds great spiritual significance and has been transformed into a shrine of Christian devotion. The fusion of ancient beliefs with Christianity is beautifully depicted in this artwork. Illustrated for Henri Du Cleuziou's book "La Creation de L'Homme et les Premiers Ages de L'Humanite" published in 1887, this engraving captures the essence of early mankind's connection to spirituality and their reverence for monumental structures like menhirs. The image evokes curiosity about our ancestors and their rituals while also highlighting the enduring power of faith throughout history. It serves as a reminder that even though time may pass and civilizations change, certain aspects of human nature remain constant. Preserved within a private collection today, this engraving offers us a glimpse into both the artistic talent of the French School during the 19th century and the cultural heritage that shaped our world today. Let it inspire you to explore further into humanity's rich history and contemplate how our past continues to shape our present.
