Graven Images: New England Stonecarving and its Symbols,

Graven Images: New England Stonecarving and its Symbols, 1650–1815
- Used Book in Good Condition
In Puritan New England, with its abiding concern for things not of this world and its distrust of forms and ceremonies, one art flourished: the symbolic art of mortuary monument stonecarvers. This carefully researched, beautifully illustrated work was the first to consider this art in depth as a meaningful aesthetic-spiritual expression. It is reissued for todayâ€™s readers, with a new preface outlining changes in the field since the book appeared in 1966.
