Good afternoon to all,
I wonder if anyone could help please - a question from a non-museum person.
I am interested in the little glass case shrine type of memento mori,
mostly from around the turn of the 19th/20th century I think. Is anyone
aware of any information on these as a type/ genre, I am finding it
difficult to track down any sources on such things - it all seems very
general, and focussed on literature or objects, but not thee objects...
And, if I may prevail further, are there any in Welsh museum collections
perhaps? (I am aware of the two in Swansea Museum and the one in the
National Waterfront Museum).
Many thanks
