Description: The author offers a solution to the cryptic Shugborough inscription -- a sequence of letters (O U O S V A V V, between the letters D M) carved on the 18th-century Shepherd's Monument on the grounds of Shugborough Hall in Staffordshire, England. Above the inscription is a stone relief mirror image of Nicolas Poussin's painting of the "Shepherds of Arcadia." It has been called one of the world's top uncracked codes.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 148-158).
