- Synopsis
- This life-size memorial shows John Blacknall kneeling on a red cushion facing his wife Jane and their two daughters who are also kneeling on red cushions. Between John and his wife is a lectern-shaped short pillar. He wears a long black robe with short banded sleeves over a black undergarment with long sleeves and white cuffs. The undergarment has buttons down the front. Around his neck is a stiff white ruff. He has black curly hair that comes down to the ruff and he has a short beard with moustache. He holds a red book to his chest in his left hand and in his right hand he holds a white scroll down by his side. His wife and daughters also wear long black robes with waist detail and long sleeves and white cuffs. Around their necks are stiff white ruffs and on their heads they wear tight fitting black caps with white trim. Down the front of Jane's robe is button detail that runs right down to the hem. All three female figures hold their hands together in prayer. Framing the figures are two arches. Between John and his wife just above the lectern pillar where the two arches meet is a golden angel head. The first 2 pages show a braille description, thethird page has a tactile image focusing on the four figures and surrounding arches that frame them. It is approximately ten times smaller than the actual figures. The arches, lectern pillar, book, scroll, cushions, detail on Blacknall's sleeve, and caps are shown as solid texture. Two textures show Blacknall's long robes, one for the over robe with lines for the folds in the fabric and one for the under garments with small dots for the buttons down the front. The texture for the over robe is also used for the long robes of the female figures with lines for the waist detail. On Jane's robe, small dots show the front button detail. The facial features and ruffs are shown as lines. The white cuffs have no texture. A further texture shows the golden angel head.
