Stonehenge. Near view from the West

Carbon print

Photograph of Stonehenge with lintels and posts extending from the left foreground to the background. A number of posts lie on the ground and another stands diagonally, leaning to the left. A man stands alongside this stone, in left side profile and with his left hand raised towards his head.
 
This is one of a series of photographs of Stonehenge in Wiltshire, England that Wilson made in the spring of 1860. This photograph is a later carbon copy which is a process that is less susceptible to light damage, unlike the original albumen photograph that was prone to fading over time.
 
From an album of photographs collected and arranged by Albert, Prince Consort between 1860 and 1861
