White Bronze Wednesday

Yes, this poor zinkie is broken and on its side, but otherwise it’s in great condition.

Mr. Edward P. Runnells (1820-1840)

This marker was placed long after this young man passed, as white bronze was not developed until the 1870s.

Tomb Tuesday

I discovered this very overgrown hill tomb on Martha’s Vineyard today during my travels (Andy Volpe: Art and History is presenting at the library in Tisbury, and I tagged along). It *might* be a keep, or it might belong to a family. With all of the ivy in it it’s hard to tell.
