We placed the wreaths upon the splendid granite sarcophagus, and at its feet, and felt that only the earthly robe we loved so much was there. The pure, tender, loving spirit which loved us so tenderly, is above us, loving us, praying for us, and free from all suffering and woe, yes, that is a comfort, and that first birthday in another world must have been a far brighter one than any in this poor world below!

Queen Victoria

These two items don’t belong to each other but I found them suitable to post together.

The Jacket is by Jacques Doucet, c.1898-1900

The bonnet is from c.1890

The boots are just fabulous and date c.1890-1900
