From historical plagues to funeral processions, the casket has witnessed it all. Lord, have mercy on London as we remember the Great Plague of 1665 through contemporary English woodcuts. The passing of Malcolm Young brings us together in solemnity and remembrance. A delivery truck from 1910 carries these somber vessels, a symbol of final farewells. In Kandy, Sri Lanka, worshippers gather to pay homage to the tooth relic while Buddhist processions honor their spiritual traditions. Thomas Hardy's heart finds its resting place in a burial that echoes his poetic soul. Batgers Christmas crackers box label reminds us that even in joyous celebrations, thoughts of mortality linger. An Italian still life painting captures the beauty and fragility of life within a jewel casket adorned with precious treasures. A color illustration portrays a woman draped in red beads and earrings, reminding us of both adornment and mourning rituals throughout history. And finally, we glimpse into history as we witness Napoleon lying in state - an emperor now confined to his eternal casket.
