The drawing is signed and dated 1888. It shows the westward facing side of the headstone, which is inscribed: Till he come, Caleb Hill, born Jan 3 1838, died Oct 9 1886.' The drawing has been mounted on paper with another sketch of Hill's gravestone, as well as a drawing of a grave for Mary Mowat and a photograph of William Morris' grave. \r\nPhilip Speakman Webb (Oxford, 1831-Sussex, 1915) was a prominent British architect who designed numerous buildings throughout Great Britain. Known for his contributions to British vernacular architecture, Webb was also a skilled draughtsman, and designer of tableware, tiles, stained glass, and furniture. He also designed gravestones and memorials for his friends and clients. Webb lent his hand to many collaborative projects and worked closely with his colleagues, namely William Morris, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and Edward Burne Jones. His precise drawings of animals, particularly birds, frequently adorn tiles, stained glass, textiles, and wallpaper produced by Morris and Co. Webb is best known for designing Morris’ Red House in Bexleyheath, as well as Clouds House, Naworth Castle, and several London town houses. Among his other accomplishments, Webb is attributed with laying the groundwork for the Arts and Crafts and Modern movements, establishing longstanding principles in historic preservation, and creating some of the most influential designs still studied and celebrated today.\r\n","physicalDescription":"This is a design drawing in ink on tracing paper for a gravestone for Caleb Hill by Philip Webb.
