EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant Victorian mourning card captures the heart-wrenching loss of three young daughters from the Paris family in 1858. The embossed design features a grieving woman kneeling beneath an urn, with a church depicted on the right side. The inscription reads: "In Memory of Louisa, Gertrude, and Amy, beloved daughters of Edward and Louisa Paris." Each tragic death is noted with their ages at passing - Louisa at 5 years and 2 months, Gertrude at 3 years and 7 months, and Amy at just 1 year and 8 months.
The intricate details of this card reflect the deep sorrow felt by the family during this difficult time. The ornate borders and religious imagery convey a sense of faith and belief in a higher power to help them through their grief. It serves as a somber reminder of the fragility of life in the Victorian era.
As we look upon this historical artifact, we are reminded of the enduring impact that loss has on families throughout history. It is a testament to the love and memory these parents held for their precious daughters who were taken too soon.
