A black and white photograph of Bonaventure Cemetery featuring an iron fence separates the viewer from the realm of the dead, a grouping of monuments clustered under an arch of sun-illuminated Spanish moss and curving oak branches. The Telfair family tomb appears at the far-left edge of Weston’s composition.
