This is one of those times when "liked it" isn't really the set of words I would use. It's fascinating, not least (as the several interesting essays point out) because death has not had a strong visual presence in my life. Heartbreaking, also, disturbing. A little bit of a relief to see death so portrayed -- it takes some of the mystery out of it. And also I appreciated a book on this subject with regards to the Victorians, as I have seen quite a few memorial hair jewelry pieces and it was something I wanted to know more about. I did feel very strongly like I wanted a quiet time and place to experience the book, so that was interesting as well. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
A compilation of 194 extraordinary and haunting photographs and related ephemera which document the practise of death and mourning photography in the Victorian era and early 20th century. There are hand coloured photographs, albumen prints, ambrotypes, cabinet cards, carte de viste, daguerreotypes, gelatine silver prints, opaltypes and postcards, all showing different examples of mourning photography. These are supplanted with original newspaper articles, funeral notices and memorial cards, all offering a fascinating insight into the grieving practises of the past.
