Plymouth County, Massachusetts Memorial Watercolor

A fascinating early watercolor on lithograph memorial depicting Union Cemetery in Hanover, Mass. Grave markers for Benjamin Bowker and his wife, Anner, are shown in the lower left and can be found in the “find-a-grave” online records. The large monument in the center has an applied paper panel “in memory of Mr. Allen Clapp died in Scituate, May 31st 1827 aged 55 yrs, –Allen Clapp Jr. died March 5th, 1827 aged 20 months.” At the lower right there is a stone depicted for “Miss Helen Clapp, who died in Scituate” as well as small markers “Sacred to the memory of J. C.” and “Adieu sweet babe.” I found records of fifteen Clapps in Union Cemetery but not Allen or Helen. Further research should be interesting.

In its original gilt frame with the original eglomise glass. There is small gap near the bottom of the applied paper panel on the large monument.
