I made this picture in 1999 while on vacation in England. Edward Cason (?-1624) is buried in the church in Furneaux Pelham, Hertfordshire in England. He was a member of the Middle Temple (lawyer) and purchased Furneax Pelham Hall in 1615. He was also an investor in the Virginia Company. His heirs owned the estate for a short while after he passed and then sold it. The dark object on the upper left of the picture is a placque describing Edward and his tomb.
