Tombstone Inscription

"One last rendering for now of historic lettering based on a rubbing I made from an old tombstone dated August 31st AD 1787. I found the details of this design quite unique. The numeral is combined with a superscript abbreviation for the word "first" using a "long s," and a rather unique ligature of the 1 to the s; this is combined with the abbreviation for Anno Domini (AD) using a forked-A "frozen" to the D."
