Complete and unabridged, with 60 full-page plates by John Constable, J. M. W. Turner and Sebastian Pether. Epitaphs collected from British graveyards - the boastful, the litigious, the accidentally comic and the ones that settle a score after death. Andrews gathered them parish by parish and the book is a social history told from the stones. This edition is 60 plates of painting by Caspar David Friedrich, John Constable and J. M. W. Turner, among others, and four restored and coloured illustrations.
