Private Garden | Wolfeboro, NH

Clean and simple can still be deeply striking, as this memorial attests.

The slate, quarried in Portugal, is prized for its rich black color, free of iron spotting.

The inscription is precisely carved, with well-spaced letterforms positioned in a clear, balanced layout. The wide letters of the name feature pronounced serifs, lending a sense of quiet strength.
A decorative flourish below adds a graceful accent that completes the composition.
