Rude stone monuments in all countries : their age and uses

Fergusson, James, 1808-1886 · 1872 · London, J. Murray · 201 pictures

Rude Stone Monuments in All Countries is an 1872 London study by the architectural historian James Fergusson, published by John Murray, surveying megalithic monuments worldwide to ask their age and purpose. Its engravings show dolmens, cairns and chambered tombs as plain stone structures set in open land, drawn with dense hatched shading that a designer could borrow for weathered, ancient-feeling textures.
