British crime author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle named his story The Hound of the Baskervilles after his compatriot John Baskerville’s well-known and much-venerated typeface. In my current photo op, Boroondara Kew Cemetery, last week I stumbled across what looks to be the grave of a Baskerville who lived in the late 19th century, one George Baskerville.

I plan to go back this week and take loads more pix of George Baskervile’s fallen tombstone. Many thanks to flickr pal Tom Margie for noticing the name on the monument.
