Summary

Description

This is a scan from a 35mm transparency which I took in the mid 1970s at Cerne Abbas in Dorset, England. It shows a detail of the (extremely virile) chalk hill-figure called the Cerne Abbas Giant. He has long been believed to be prehistoric, but modern scholarship doubts this: the earliest written references to him are 18th century and he is now thought to have been cut as a skit or lampoon of a local politician, representing him as a naked Hercules. This scan is in the Public Domain (however, I retain ownership and copyright of the original transparency and any higher-resolution scans derived from it).

If this image is used outside Wikipedia a photographer's credit (Simon Garbutt) would be much appreciated! SiGarb 17:29, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
