Corinne Elliott Lawton monument in Bonaventure Cemetery by Chris Allen

Poignant and timeless, this black and white canvas print captures the famed Corinne Elliott Lawton monument in Savannah’s Bonaventure Cemetery, as seen through the lens of photographer Chris Allen. The marble figure, sculpted in 1877, is one of the cemetery’s most recognized and emotionally evocative memorials. Her gaze, fixed upward, conveys both longing and serenity, as though searching for the “brighter worlds” inscribed upon her gravestone.

The play of light and shadow across the delicate features of the statue, framed by the oaks and Spanish moss of Bonaventure, creates a powerful balance of beauty and melancholy. This photograph not only preserves the artistry of 19th-century funerary sculpture but also reflects the enduring mystery and legend surrounding Corinne Elliott Lawton’s life and untimely death.

Printed on fine canvas, this piece offers more than just an image—it invites reflection on mortality, remembrance, and the haunting elegance of Savannah’s most storied resting place. Perfect for admirers of cemetery art, Southern Gothic history, or evocative photography, it is a striking addition to any art collection.
