It is just a postcard of a Victorian cemetery in London which was posted in 1904. It depicts the marvellous Kensal Green Cemetery. What makes it interesting is the message on the reverse.
"Knowing you are of a morbid turn of mind, I send you this. Whenever you have a fit of the blues, just gaze on it. It is like balm to the troubles which are soon gone."

I wonder how the tomb with the angels holding the halo has fared these many years later.
ReplyDeleteI think there is some sarcasm in the note from the back of the card.
I think it still exists - when I can refind my photos of a decade ago, there may be photographic proof it did. The same batch has a photograph of the grave of Hiram Maxim - the inventor of the Maxim Gun!
