This hand-screened image is based on the Wolfville, Nova Scotia headstone of Elizabeth DeWolfe (d. 27 June 1783, aged 2). The uniwue design was produced by “The Horton Carver”, an unknown carver active in the New England Planter townships of Horton and Cornwallis, and one of the first active carvers in Nova Scotia.
