EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed figure of John Aubrey, an influential English archaeologist, biographer, and one of the founding members of the prestigious Royal Society. Born in 1626 and departing this world in 1697, Aubrey left an indelible mark on history through his groundbreaking work. Renowned for conducting the first scientific study of Stonehenge, he boldly proposed that it had once served as a sacred Druid temple. Additionally, he rediscovered the enigmatic stone circle at Avebury. Aubrey's insatiable curiosity extended beyond archaeology to encompass natural history as well. He was a visionary pioneer who envisioned creating a geological map long before its realization became possible. Although he never personally crafted such a map himself, his ideas laid the foundation for future advancements in geology. Not only did Aubrey possess an exceptional intellect and expertise in various fields but also enjoyed close relationships with many eminent men of his era including William Harvey. His remarkable encounters with these luminaries were meticulously documented within his renowned posthumously published work known as "Brief Lives". This stunning colored illustration from the seventeenth century provides us with a glimpse into Aubrey's intriguing life and multifaceted contributions to British history. It serves as a testament to his enduring legacy as both an accomplished archaeologist and geologist while capturing our imagination with tales of ancient mysteries waiting to be unraveled.
