This was Story's last major work prior to his death, a year after his wife. The statue's creation was documented in an 1896 issue of Cosmopolitan Magazine: according to this account, his wife's death so devastated Story that he lost interest in sculpture, but was inspired to create the monument by his children, who recommended it as a means of memorializing the woman.[2] Unlike the typical angelic grave art, "this dramatic life-size winged figure speaks more of the pain of those left behind" by appearing "collapsed, weeping and draped over the tomb".[4] The term is now used to describe multiple grave stones throughout the world erected in the style of the Story stone.[3] A feature in The Guardian called the design "one of the most copied images in the world".[4] Story himself wrote that "It represents the angel of Grief, in utter abandonment, throwing herself with drooping wings and hidden face over a funeral altar. It represents what I feel. It represents Prostration. Yet to do it helps me."[5] Prominent replicas of the Angel of Grief sculpture include the Henry Lathrop monument, located in the Stanford Arboretum at Stanford University. Lathrop was the brother of Jane Stanford, the co-founder of the university. The original replica was built in 1901, but was severely damaged in the San Francisco earthquake of 1906, leading to its replacement in 1908. After years of neglect, the 1908 replacement was fully restored in 2001.[6][7][8] Another example is the Cassard angel, erected around 1908 in the Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, New York.[9] The image has also been used in popular culture, such as in an album cover for the band Nightwish's album Once (2004) and in the 2012 film The Woman in Black.[4] ImagesReferences1. ^{{cite web|url=https://news.stanford.edu/2015/08/14/vandalism-angel-grief-081415/|title=Stanford police seek information on vandalism of Angel of Grief|date=14 August 2015|work=Stanford News}} 2. ^Cosmopolitan Magazine, cited in {{cite web|url=http://www.hinghamcemetery.org/pie_3f.html|publisher=Hingham Cemetery|title=Angel of Grief|accessdate=10 November 2017}} 3. ^1 {{cite book|page=158|isbn=9781603441636|title=Houston's Silent Garden|author=Turner, Suzanne; Wilson, Joanne|publisher=Texas A&M Press|year=2010}} 4. ^1 2 {{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/culture/gallery/2013/mar/02/the-10-best-famous-graves|newspaper=The Guardian|title=The 10 best... famous graves|author=Stanford, Peter|date=2 March 2013}} 5. ^{{cite book|url=https://books.google.ca/books?id=FPpqCwAAQBAJ&pg=PT347|title=William Wetmore Story and His Friends|edition=abridged and annotated|author=James, Henry|publisher=Big Byte Books|year=2015}} 6. ^{{cite web| title =Labor of Love Leads to a Happy Ending for "Angel of Grief"| url =http://news.stanford.edu/news/2001/april18/mausoleum-418.html| accessdate = 10 May 2010|work=Stanford News}} 7. ^{{cite web| title =Angel of Grief Restoration| url =http://www.customstonecarving.com/stone%20restoration/Angel%20of%20Grief%20.pdf| accessdate = 10 May 2010}} 8. ^{{cite web| title =A photo of the Memorial after the 1906 quake, showing the fallen canopy.| url =http://quake06.stanford.edu/centennial/gallery/structures/palmdrive/pages/sc206_bx1_fldr9_pg10.html}} 9. ^{{cite book|page=41|isbn=9781423621027|title=Stories in Stone New York: A Field Guide to New York City Area Cemeteries and Their Residents|author=Keister, Douglas|publisher=Gibbs Smith|year=2011}} Further reading
