Lettering in Marble

by Gale Wall

The next time you pass by a marble headstone take the time to really notice how the letters and words are carved. But do so after you read this booklet, Lettering in Marble, by the Vermont Marble Company from the 1920's. What size and style of letters did you read on the stone you saw?

It is available for download on the website of the Association of Gravestone Studies.
