5 page illustrated article from a rare 1897 Victorian periodical - the article is entitled "Queer Mourning Customs" by E Le Breton-Martin. Very interesting old article discussing strange mourning customs from around the world Illustrations include Ferrying corpse to the tombs on Nile Polynesian scarifiers Mourning idol from East Central Africa Memorial figure from Easter Island Clay crowned Andamanese Charm from Hermit Islands Mourning Dress South Sea Islands New Guinea memorial Network mourning dress Australian aborigine Brass box for human heads Coffin for human heads Sacrificial bowl Macquari mourning whips Patagonian mourning rattle Mexican spiked necklace There are more countries / customs discussed in text CONDITION Please note If after you purchase an article please don’t be concerned if you see the same article relisted this is because I have more than one volume with the article in.This listing is for genuine actual pages extracted from a scarce disbound publication, there are no covers article may include the ending or beginning of other non related articles. 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
