To the Memory of, hand-colored lithograph by E.B. and E.C. Kellogg, 1847

A hand-colored lithograph shows two men in dark nineteenth-century coats standing on either side of a tall white memorial obelisk beneath a drooping green willow. The obelisk bears a star emblem and the words "To the Memory of" with a verse below, and blue and white flowers fill the base. The ink and color are crisp against the pale paper.
