It's interesting that Robert Merrillees in asking for identification of the sketch by Lesueur says nothing about the sketch of Stonehenge, which in the translation of the caption identifies "...daggers and squares..." in 1815!!!<br /><br />"Several rows of erect stones are arranged in a circular plane. Some stones have engraved motifs (daggers and squares in particular). Lesueur gives here some of the rare images of this period to read the evolution of this site. IT. Lesueur, 1815"<br /><br />Are these his actual words describing what he saw, or the museum's description of the artwork with "artistic licence"!<br /><br />http://www.museum-lehavre.fr/fr/collections/ca-lesueur/lesueur-peintre-voyageur<br /><br />and click on the "Angleterre" link on the map.

Aubrey Burl mentions she counted 91 stones in his book on John Aubrey (2010). Fiennes' travels came after John Aubrey's plan of 1666. As far as I know there are no references to Fiennes in any other Stonehenge book I have, or have had sight of.<br /><br />In short, her account - I conclude - has little, if any, scientific merit, and to me doesn't suggest a bluestone trilithon.Richard Bartoszhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15367500849154120275noreply@blogger.com
