Carved in Stone by Thomas and William Gilson

April 04, 2013 12:30 pm • Last Updated: April 04, 2013 12:31 pm

While on a rather unusual subject, this wonderful book from Wesleyan University Press is both informative and entertaining. Eighty duotone photographs by Thomas Gilson are accompanied by essays written by his brother William. These explain the stone carvers and the various stories they are telling in their work, from wrecks at sea to epidemics, the loss of small children, and the more mundane.
