Passing Away | Victorian Memorial with Hand Painted RosesThis early Victorian memorial consists of a handwritten poem (Passing Away) surrounded by a hand painted wreath of pink roses, made for a loved one who passed away in 1839. Presented in a wooden frame from the same period. I took this in last year for my collection then ran out of wall space! A unique piece for the collector who has everything.

Condition is good overall with some edgewear to the cards and minor surface wear to the folder

or horizontally so it looks like the sword is slicing through the books

Presented in a later vintage wooden frame

It retains its original key
