Sacred to the Memory of (hand-colored lithograph, ca. 1850)

A hand-colored lithograph shows a woman in a dark shawl and bonnet standing beside two children at a stone memorial plinth with a blank tablet. A weeping willow and urn sit atop the monument, and a church spire rises over rolling hills in the background. Faint printed lettering appears at the bottom margin.
