The Popping Stone in the 1880s

From a postcard postmarked 1918 but derived from a photo apparently taken around 30 years before. The condition of the tree shows that the photo was certainly taken before 1895, and the close joint between the smaller stones is rarely seen in pictures of the new-shape Popping Stone.
