EDITORS COMMENTS
This hauntingly beautiful Victorian mourning card, featuring the image of Edgar George Pottle, MRCS LRCP, serves as a poignant reminder of the solemn rituals and customs surrounding death in the 19th century. The stark contrast between the black borders and white background symbolizes the duality of life and death, while the intricate edging adds a touch of elegance to this somber piece.
The card bears the inscription "In Loving Remembrance of Edgar George Pottle, who died April 9th, 1880, aged 40," indicating that Mr. Pottle was laid to rest in the family grave at Highgate Cemetery. On the reverse side is a devotional religious verse offering words of consolation and hope to those left behind.
As we gaze upon this relic from a bygone era, we are reminded of the enduring power of faith and belief in times of grief and loss. The image of Jesus surrounded by angels serves as a comforting reminder that even in death, there is redemption for those who hold fast to their beliefs.
This Victorian mourning card not only commemorates the life and passing of Edgar George Pottle but also offers us insight into a time when death was openly acknowledged and mourned with reverence. It stands as a testament to our shared human experience with mortality and our eternal search for solace in times of sorrow.
