My ancestor has a photo on his tombstone that was placed there in 1906 and it is perfect today. It looks like it was put there yesterday. Sadly enough I have seen in many cemeteries where these photos on the tombstones have been chiseled out by someone. At any rate, after almost 100 years, my ancestor's photo remains and is picture perfect!!
