5 page illustrated article from a rare 1897 Victorian periodical - the article is entitled "Queer Mourning Customs" by E Le Breton-Martin.

There may also be signs of foxing or browning due to the age of the paper. Whilst the images show the article in its still bound state, the article will be sent as loose pages. If you are interested in more than one item I will always combine postage where this is possible so long as purchases are in one transaction. If you are forced by ebay to pay multiple postages for your purchases I will refund the overpayment
