Description

This print was transferred from the library of the R.I.B.A. (Royal Institute of British Architects) in 1936. The verse reads 'No need of monument or sculpture here, To mark the place of Mary's lowly bier, / No need of lofty line or letter'd art To chant the praises of her guileless heart, / No need her goodnefs and her worth to tell, Deep in our hearts and mem'ries they will dwell; / Grateful for years of kindnefs, love sincere, Her sorrowing friends this humble tribute rear.'
