The gravestones demonstrated a fine use of a
seriffed letter combined with italics and the carefully judged use of swash letters, all balanced with illustrative material where necessary.
The text is set in a bewildering (albeit fashionable) mix of
seriffed and sans serif types, and the rigid grid structure creates some unsolved problems in placing the illustrations: in the front matter, many of the pages are two-thirds blank, with the sad-looking little text creeping along the bottom, and in the rest of the book perhaps as many as a fourth of the illustrations are set at a ninety-degree angle.
