These headstones stand in the oldest English burial ground in Charleston. The featured headstone, bearing the name of Susan Branford, was erected in 1895, exactly 200 years after this cemetery was first established. I photographed it not only for its elegant typography, but also for its Victorian sentiments. It contrasts in color to the headstones placed around it. My framing attaches these darker slabs to the Branford headstone, creating a seamless wall of marble and granite. The photograph expresses the concept of a “wall of eternity” -- an impervious shield of marble and stone, intended to forever recall those who are buried beneath it.
