This untitled stereoscopic photograph from the late 19th century depicts a memorial arrangement of flowers, likely for a funeral. The image features a large wreath of flowers, two smaller bouquets in vases, and a locket with a portrait. The arrangement is displayed on a dark cloth-covered table. Stereographs were popular in the 19th century and provided a 3D viewing experience when seen through a stereoscope. The photograph is a poignant example of Victorian mourning rituals and the importance of memory and remembrance.
