In Loving Memory of

Benjamin Hill,

Born February 20th, 1824.

Died January 5th, 1901.

[illegible — reverse of card carries a two-stanza verse, not fully legible at this scan resolution, plus a small printer's imprint at bottom, partly reading "New Cross Park, Camberwell [?]"]

A small double-fold mourning card. The front panel (name, dates, cemetery) is clearly legible; the verse on the reverse panel is printed in much smaller type and is not fully legible at this scan's resolution. The printer's imprint in the bottom corners is likewise only partly legible.
