EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a unique perspective of Victorian burial and death customs in England during the 1850s. The birds eye view allows us to see the intricate layout of the London Necropolis, a national mausoleum located in Brookwood Cemetery, Woking, Surrey.
Established in 1853, this necropolis was designed to accommodate the growing population of London and provide a dignified final resting place for its residents. The carefully planned layout of the cemetery is evident from this aerial view, showcasing rows upon rows of tombstones and mausoleums stretching out across the landscape.
The Victorian era was known for its elaborate mourning rituals and somber funeral processions, making this image a poignant reminder of how our ancestors honored their departed loved ones. The meticulous organization of gravesites and memorials reflects the respect and reverence that Victorians held for those who had passed on.
As we gaze upon this historic snapshot from over a century ago, we are transported back in time to an era where death was not feared but embraced as a natural part of life. This print serves as a window into the past, allowing us to glimpse into the fascinating world of Victorian burial customs and traditions.
