The Popping Stone, Gilsland

4. The Mona Lisa of Gilsland, 1865

Pretty Lady on the Popping Stone

An old photograph of the Popping Stone showing the old shape, completely different from today. The photo can be dated to around 1865, when the geometrical pattern of her dress was fashionable. In the background are a pointing child, a gentleman and a rustic.
