The image depicts a part of the burial site of many poets and writers from the United Kingdom. The place is not like the typical burial site as this is indoors and has statues of each poet. There are statues standing on a pedestal and there are some handing on the wall. Some statues are smaller and are only from the shoulder up, while others are full body in a unique pose. The image captures a corner in the building in which there is a man on the far left mid walking motion holding books and a pencil in his hand. There is then a portrait of a woman hanging on a wall with a large paragraph underneath her. Next to the woman on the wall is a statue of a man leaning on a pile of books. Underneath the books are a few portraits of people going around the pedestal. Next to the leaning man in the corner is a statue of a main and child. The man is sitting and leaning up against a small pedestal while the child is trying to hand somethin to the man. Right above the man is a portrait sculpture of a main on a small shelf. On the right wall a woman leans up against a portrait sculpture of a man. Above this statue is a portrait of a woman on the wall. Then on the very right is a sculpture o f an angel baby, and a sculpture of some faces and a vase on the wall.Photograph Details
