Headstone. Late C19. Marble. Inscribed to the memory of Christina Rossetti, poet, theological writer and sister of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Pre-Raphaelite painter, and Elizabeth Siddall, the latter's wife - whom he buried with a manuscript of his earlier poems.

HISTORICAL NOTE: in 1869, with growing ambitions as a poet and regretting the burial of his only complete earlier volume, Rossetti had them exhumed secretly at dead of night; the volume, entitled "Poems" was published in 1870.
