This hauntingly beautiful Victorian mourning card captures the essence of grief and remembrance in exquisite detail. The embossed design features a woman and a young girl standing solemnly at a tomb in a cemetery, their expressions filled with sorrow. The card is dedicated to James Woodhead, who passed away on January 14th, 1855 at the age of 80 and was laid to rest at Anston Church.
The intricate craftsmanship of this piece reflects the deep religious beliefs and faith that guided Victorians through times of loss. The black and white color scheme adds to the somber tone, while the image of trees and monuments in the background evoke a sense of history and tradition.
