Stonehenge. Near view from the West

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.
