EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the receiving tomb at Forest Hills Cemetery in Jamaica Plain, Boston, between 1900 and 1906. The receiving tomb, also known as the mausoleum, is a beautiful architectural structure designed to receive and store caskets before they are interred in individual graves. The intricate details of the building's exterior are on full display in this image, with its ornate columns, flowerbeds, and path leading up to the entrance. The tomb's grandeur reflects the importance placed on death and memorialization during this time period. The photograph was taken using a dry plate or glass negative process, a common photographic technique during the early 1900s. The image's high contrast and tonal range showcase the skill of the unknown photographer, likely employed by the Detroit Publishing Company or a similar firm. The company's name does not appear on this particular print, but their influence on documenting American landscapes and architecture during this era is well-known. Forest Hills Cemetery, located in Suffolk County, Massachusetts, is a historic and beautiful burial ground that has been in operation since 1848. The cemetery's rolling hills, winding paths, and diverse collection of monuments and mausoleums make it a popular destination for both locals and tourists. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the cemetery's heritage and the architectural beauty of the receiving tomb during the early 1900s.
