EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "GRAVESTONE, 1759" takes us back to the heart of 18th century New England. The image showcases a delicate rubbing from an ancient gravestone, revealing intricate details that have withstood the test of time. The gravestone itself stands as a solemn symbol of death and remembrance in colonial America. Its weathered surface tells stories of lives lived and lost, serving as a poignant reminder of our mortality. Etched onto its surface is an angelic figure with outstretched wings, representing hope and guidance in the afterlife. Through this evocative artwork, we are transported to a bygone era where life was simpler yet fraught with challenges. It offers us a glimpse into the history and culture of New England during its formative years as an American colony. The technique used to create this piece is equally fascinating - rubbing. This process involves placing paper over the gravestone's surface and gently applying pressure with charcoal or wax crayons to capture every minute detail etched into it. As we contemplate this mesmerizing photograph, we are reminded not only of our own mortality but also of the resilience and enduring beauty found within historical artifacts such as this remarkable gravestone from 1759 New England.
