Oh I simply cannot stop posting things... What about this example of Victorian funerary monuments? Fancy any of them? What would you like to have as your grave marker?
Hello there, I am a university history of art student and I am recently writing a thesis about cemetery symbolism, and I find this picture you posted of great interest. can yo u please tell me from which book or source you found the 'Victorian tomb designs' it would be a great help
James Stevens Curl included it in his book 'Death and Architecture' see page 363. His caption says it is by Milward & Co from Justyne, William (c1864) 'Guide to kensal Green Cemetery' (London: printed for the author by J. Moore)
