These four remarkable slides portray different aspects of
the dying process. The first is a beautifully hand coloured deathbed scene with
wife and children mourning. The second is a black and white photographic slide
entitled "Paying of Certificate to Widow", probably part of a fraternal order
set that offered such benefits to survivors. The third is a black and white view
of sombre dressed men and shrouded women witnessing "Unveiling the Monument."
The final slide is a black and white depiction of "The Funeral, at the Grave."
All measure 3.75" x 4" (8.2 x 10 cm). |
