Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, published in 1847, surveys the history of Philadelphia's Laurel Hill Cemetery and its transformation into a rural cemetery. Amidst the ongoing debate about the public health risks of human remains buried in crowded graveyards amidst urban populations, this book relates the creation of Laurel Hill, a private company-owned cemetery in open parkland a few miles outside the city center. The book includes a survey of the various monuments and sculptures erected on the grounds, with engravings of prominent examples, and discussions of the art and craftsmanship of cemetery monuments. This book delivers insights into the evolution of cemetery design in the 19th century as well as an historical record of the prominent figures buried at Laurel Hill. The book's viewpoint is that of the cemeteryâs owners and managers, and is an excellent example of the increasing popularity of rural cemeteries among the urban elite in the mid-19th century. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780282743413_0
