 "Life in Parts: An Interpretation from the Cemetery" by Minda Powers-Douglas
This fabulous T-shirt is currently available in size XL. The image was taken from an old rubbing of Nathanael Mather's stone in Salem, Massachusetts, from 1688. This shirt is from the excellent Gravestone Artwear collection. According to Gravestone Artwear: "The skull with wings signifying death and mortality are death head images which were popular in the 17th and early 18th centuries. Nathanael Maher was Cotton Mather’s precocious brother who entered Harvard College at the age of twelve. 'Memento Mori' is Latin for remember death." I have seen this gravestone in person, and it is incredible.
Mr. Nathanael Mather

Scott Thomas of North Grafton, Massachusetts, is the artist of our version of Ichabod Crane's headstone.
