The Puritan Book of the DeadIn eighteenth century New England, the Puritans expressed creativity by their exquisite craftsmanship in tombstone design. Although their faith was austere, the stonecutters produced a wealth of images that has gone largely unnoticed. Shattuck depicts the imagery of urns, death’s heads and willow trees which are embellished with epitaphs. Death of young and old was common so the graveyard was a place of contemplation. These tombstones were relied upon to convey messages of comfort and connection. The Urn Book depicts 10 drypoint images displayed in a continuous hinge, 3 cover fold. It was printed on BFK Rives paper, Japanese paper, size is 12.5” x 12.5” x 20”. Edition of 4, $900.
