The North East Side of Stonehenge
By Edward Rooker
1751 - 1800
A copy of this engraving appeared in Hervey’s New System of Geography written by Frederic Hervey in 1785. D.Fenning originally wrote this book and then Hervey edited a revised version. The landscape behind the monument is reminiscent of the bleak downland of Salisbury Plain but errors in the scale of the stones suggest that the artist did not draw this picture from life.
