Early American Stone Headstone Rubbing Art Print

In the early days of American settlements, stone was a common material for headstones. Over time, weather and decay took their toll on these stones, leaving them worn and faded. However, in recent years, a new process has been developed that can bring these old stones back to life. By rubbing the stone with a special crayon, the original carving can be revealed, and the headstone can be given new life. This art print from Early American Stone Headstones is signed by Ann Parker Avon Neal and Polly Coombes Bellingham, both of whom have been instrumental in bringing this process to light. The print is a beautiful tribute to the craftsmanship of our forebears, and it provides a glimpse into the past that would otherwise be lost. The rubbing is hand-signed Ann Parker Avon Neal with the handwritten inscription Polly Coombes Bellingham, Massachusetts, 1795.

The frame measures 12.25 x 17.25 inches.

The frame has minor scuffs and abrasions. The lower edge of the margin has a small tear in the paper. The frame is sold without glass—the rubbing paper with creasing and minor imperfections.
