I've sat on this horizontally mounted tomb stone at the Ulster Folk Museum a few times but never stopped to scrutinise it before. There's some weird use of punctuation going on and some beautifully cut letters.
The type on this stone is really beautifully carved. I am really loving the way the 'd' curves round the 'r', on the number 23. There is some strange use of punctuation use, I do wonder why this is?
The numbers are lovely!!! Can anything be better than chiseled type? I once found a calligraphy workshop that offered that as one of their classes. That must be so much fun!!!
