I really love the detail of his clothing, a very ornate outfit, befitting of making a statement even when he is gone. I still love walking through the cemeteries, looking at the mausoleums and statues, true pieces of art. The bigger, more beautiful ones - there is no guess as to how much they were loved.
New Bedford is in the heart of our country's beginnings and growth. I should know or at least have looked it up. Do you know how many cemeteries are there? I cannot guess but, I know they had a few and each one is special in its own way. I like the picture up close of your subject. I can see exactly how they wanted him portrayed. A tailor showing off his skills.
As an aside, I forgot, but Rural is really the name of the cemetery, not one that is in a remote part of the town. :) I love this post!
We have talked about how death and cemeteries were more revered in the past than they are now. Most people are not even buried, but cremated. I wonder if ten generations from now people will wonder what happened to us all, if we really passed, or did an asteroid really take us out?
Have an amazing day!
I was curious when you mentioned how many here
https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery-browse/USA/Massachusetts/Bristol-County/New-Bedford?id=city_59081
23 Cemeteries I have noticed maybe 7 of them
The detail in this statue is amazing considering it’s between 80 and 100 years old
Does makes us wonder what it will be like ten or even two generations from now
