EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the construction of the Crematorium at Pere la Chaise cemetery in Paris, back in 1888. During this time, cremation was gradually gaining acceptance as a method of disposing of the deceased across Europe. The illustration, published while the building was still under construction, showcases its architectural beauty with a towering chimney emitting smoke into the sky. The image transports us to a different era, where death and mourning were an integral part of society's fabric. The monochrome aesthetic adds to the somber atmosphere surrounding this concept. This engraving serves as a testament to human progress and evolving attitudes towards death rituals during the 19th century. Interestingly, it is worth noting that this particular crematorium wasn't the first of its kind. The honor goes to Woking in Surrey, England, which saw the establishment of the world's first modern crematorium in 1885. However, this Parisian structure holds its own significance within history. As we gaze upon this print from Heritage Images' collection by an unknown creator, we are reminded of our mortality and how societies adapt their customs over time. It stands as a reminder that even in death there is evolution – both cultural and technological – shaping our final farewell on Earth.
