Haunted History: Victorian Mourning Traditions
Walk with us through the veiled world of Victorian Mourning, where grief was expressed and processed through tradition, fashion, symbolism and remembrance. Join us October 6 at 7PM at the Woodbridge Main Library for a talk that highlights some of the fascinating, beautiful and macabre customs surrounding death and bereavement during the Victorian era. Discover how Victorians transformed mourning into elaborate traditions, through post-mortem photography, spiritualism, mourning attire-and how their beliefs about death, remembrance and spirit communication continue to captivate us today.
