Artists Peter MacPherson and Sal Robertson have teamed up to present an exploration of outstanding 19th Century funerary artwork carved in stone, etched in iron, and pieced together in glass. The images presented here represent artistry and craftsmanship in America and the Old World from a time when loss was more frequent and death was more a part of life. Burial grounds were once popular spots for strolling, picnicing and visiting with loved ones. The artwork reflects the deep affection and commitment to remembrance that was inherent in the art of death in the 19th Century.
