Memorial Panels
An introduction to Victorian-era memorial panels (memorial cards), presented alongside the 1895 catalogue of Marshall Amery, a leading American maker of these cards.
Memorial Panels, or Memorial Cards as they are often called, were extremely popular in the Victorian era. Intended to be sent to friends and loved ones to notify them of a death, they were often kept as mementos of the deceased.
The following is the 1895 catalogue for Marshall Amery, one of the leading makers of these cards in the United States.
By reading a catalogue such as this, one can learn much about the customs and values of the past.
I hope you find this of intrest.
