Grave markers, Moravian Cemetery - Bethlehem, PA - Ansel Adams Photo Hunt on Waymarking.com

In 1939, Ansel Adams took at least two photos of the Moravian Cemetery. One was of a line of grave markers and the other was of a single stone. I have tried to recreate them as best as I can. One thing that I noticed was that the grass has grown and built up the earth since 1939 and the stones are now embedded in the earth instead of being on top. Second, the Stadiger Stone seems to have shifted downhill a few inches over the years. The bench and buildings appear as they did in 1939.

According to the Princeton University Art Museum, the details of the Stadiger (first) photo are:

"Ansel Adams (American, 1902–1984), Grave markers, Moravian Cemetery, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, 1939. Gelatin silver print, 11.7 x 17 cm (image); 12.5 x 18 cm (sheet). Gift of David Hunter McAlpin Jr., Class of 1950 (2006-813)"

I consider these hidden gems, as I had absolutely not known that there is a place where his more obscure photos can be found.
