Description

Through careful hand-rubbing on special paper. Gravestone Artwear has preserved hundreds of images representing the evolution of the early stone carvers' art from 17th century symbols to the more sophisticated and artistic tableaux of the 19th century. This catalog illustrates depictions of 17th through 19th century gravestone carvings from New England, ancient Celtic designs from Ireland and medieval brass rubbings from England. At our York Village, Maine, studio these beautiful images are made into silk screens and meticulously printed onto t-shirts and a collection of velvet garments and accessories. Hand tags describe the designs, their origins, and detail the symbolism used by the stone carvers.
