The memorial card

From the funeral card

Memorial Cabinet Photograph for Louisa Sarah Saunders aged 2 years who died on May 12th 1880.

Photographer Charles Watkins Camden London.

In loving memory of Louisa Sarah Saunders, who was called to her heavenly home May 12th 1880, aged 2 years and 8 months.

A memorial cabinet photograph rather than a printed card. The photographer's studio was in Camden, London. A second image, a mourning banner bearing the full "in loving memory" inscription, is shown with this record. The banner's precise age at death (2 years, 8 months) supersedes the cabinet photograph caption's rounded "2 years."
