Special catalogue of tombstones, monuments, tablets and markers.
A 1902 trade catalogue issued by Sears, Roebuck and Company of Chicago, offering tombstones, monuments, tablets and markers to mail-order customers across the United States. Its pictures are plain line-and-halftone drawings of marble-look headstones and obelisks on stepped plinths, with price text set beside them; a designer could take the stacked base proportions, the tapered pointed caps and the carved ivy and scroll bands as period ornament references.
