“Honoré-Victorin Daumier was a French painter, sculptor, and printmaker, whose many works offer commentary on the social and political life in France, from the Revolution of 1830 to the fall of the second Napoleonic Empire in 1870.” (Wikipedia)

General Kerrich

“Here Lies Buried General Walter D’Oyly Kerrich, Colonel Commandant Royal Late Madras Artillery, Eldest son of Thomas Kerrich Esquire, Died 27th January 1911.”
