Tinfoil Tombstone Impression
I
was recently asked to visit a local cemetery in the Indianapolis area
to take a picture of a tombstone. There was some doubt about the date
of death inscribed on the tombstone, as one transcription of it gave a
different date from that which a family genealogy cited. I was able to
find the tombstone and take a picture of it, but I still could not read
the date of death, no matter how I varied the angle of the photograph
or the lighting of the tombstone. The inscription was too worn and
rough to do a rubbing. Not wanting to apply anything that might have
chemical agents such as shaving cream, I tried to think of a "dry
method" and the thought of taking tin foil came to me. I took a sheet
and gently pressed the foil into the inscription with a dry, soft
sponge, then gently lifted the foil from the stone, and I had an
impression of the inscription that I could then take and hold in front
of a mirror to read. I can't say I'd ever heard of this having been
done before, but now tinfoil and a sponge are two items I carry
whenever I go "cemetery hopping,� along with a whisk broom, probe,
and
flashlight. Back
