Explore the many fascinating nineteenth century traditions
associated with death and mourning. The widespread influence of
England's Queen Victoria perpetuated displays of grieving as she,
her court, and loyal subjects remained in a state of mourning for
over forty years. Over 300 color photographs display jewelry,
photography and painted portraits, children's, men's, and women's
clothes; poems, letters of sympathy, armbands, procession badges,
hair receivers, announcements, and horse-drawn vehicles that were
specifically associated with death customs. Symbolism in written
phrases, flowers, and objects is presented and many examples are
shown. Over 70 pages of a Victorian hair jewelry catalog are
included, showing hundreds of designs that could be ordered as
keepsakes, often using your own hair. Today's collectors of
friendship and mourning memorabilia can expect to see antique items
that not only speak of comfort and solace in times of need but
continue to appreciate in value.
