Lanyon Quoit in Summer

£3.49 inc. tax

A beautiful full colour illustration from The Cornish Collection of Lanyon Quoit which is a dolmen in West Cornwall, England, two miles southeast of Morvah. It collapsed in a storm in 1815 and was re-erected nine years later and as a result the dolmen is now very different from its original appearance. The illustration is a landscape orientated A5 (210mm x 148mm) 300gsm greeting card, left blank inside for your own personal message. The design features a reproduction of an original waltercolour of beach stones on the inside, taken from nearby Church Cove, Gunwalloe and comes packaged in a clear poly bag and a plain white envelope. I painted this scene in watercolours but decided a vector illustration was better suited for reproduction on to high quality silk stock card.Lanyon Quoit currently has three support stones which stand to a height of 1.5 metres. These bear a capstone which is 5.5 metres long and which weighs more than 12 tonnes.

In the eighteenth century the quoit had four supporting stones and the structure was tall enough for a person on horseback to ride under. On 19 October 1815, Lanyon Quoit fell down in a storm.[5] Nine years later enough money was raised by local inhabitants to re-erect the structure, under the guidance of Captain Giddy of the Royal Navy. One of the original stones was considered too badly damaged to put back in place, thus there are only three uprights today and the structure does not stand so high as it once did.
