The early 1900s caption reads: "DRUID WORSHIP OF ANCIENT GAUL.—The religion of Gaul—that is, of ancient France—was Druidism, a strange and mysterious creed of which little is now known. The Druids or priests kept themselves secluded from the common people, living in deep groves and only appearing at intervals, vaguely and in the distance. They offered up human sacrifices, slaying their victims on broad flat stones, and encouraged people to die by preaching the immortality of the soul."
