RE: Mind Your Step; you're walking over graves
Truly fascinating. I have a cousin that was really into 'rubbings'. Taking a pencil and tracing paper and making art from the stones of buildings and graves. I suppose some might think it a bit of...desecration? But then again, keeps you in the minds of others, after you are gone. The skull is rather to the point there...does that spell anything in Dutch, or just letters?
(Good job on the photo stitchery)
I think they are initials, but it does spell "ik", which is the Dutch word for "I" (first-person singular nominative pronoun, that "I").
And it is better to rub than to walk over. Less wear, too.
