The Tomb of Madame De Bonnemain in Ixelles Cemetery, 1891
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an intriguing and evocative photograph that transports us back in time to the Victorian era in Ixelles, a district of Brussels, Belgium. The image, captured by an unknown photographer, was first published in "The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper" in late 1891. The photograph depicts a grand mausoleum, the final resting place of Marguerite Brouzet, better known as Madame De Bonnemain. The ornate and imposing structure, surrounded by lush greenery, stands in stark contrast to the black-and-white background of the cemetery. A group of people can be seen in the foreground, adding a sense of scale and context to the image. Madame De Bonnemain was a prominent figure in Belgian society during the late 19th century. Her mausoleum, a testament to her wealth and status, is a striking example of the opulence and grandeur of the Victorian era. The intricate carvings and detailed stonework are a testament to the craftsmanship of the time. The photograph, published in "The Graphic," would have been of great interest to its readers, who were likely intrigued by the exotic and mysterious allure of European cemeteries and the lives of the wealthy and famous. The image offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to imagine the stories and lives of the people buried in the cemetery and the community that gathered around Madame De Bonnemain's tomb. Today, the photograph serves as a reminder of the rich history and culture of Ixelles Cemetery and the people who once called it home. The mystery and allure of the image continue to captivate us, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs.
