Description:In the nineteenth century, death was an ever present companion. High infant mortality and risk in childbirth, disease and warfare were daily reminders of the impermanence of life and the inevitability of death.

Mourning became an art form through which is not only grief, but also religious feeling, social obligation, and even fashion could be expressed. Widow's Weeds and Weeping Veils explores how Victorians viewed death and dying, describing the cultural and social changes that occurred as a result of the historical events of their time.
