Alexander Maxwell American
Not on view
Alexander Maxwell designed and made grave monuments for New York area clients in the mid-nineteenth century (a fine example is a Butterfield family mausoleum of ca. 1875 at Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx). They likely were related to the marble and granite suppliers Alexander Maxwell & Co. of East Canaan, Connecticut, who provided marble for New York City Hall in 1838, and for a hundred columns used in an extension of the United States Capitol, Washington DC in 1860. This drawing comes from a group of designs for private memorials.
