The Real Reason Victorians Were Obsessed with Death! | Victorian Mourning Practices

Description:

In the Victorian era in London, the city sat under a black shroud.


The capital was in mourning for a lost monarch and its residents were ushered under the wing of sadness to join in with the bereft queen.


As this sadness swept the nation, the resulting impact had a strange effect. Pair this with the recent industrial revolution which could make items faster and also had a habit of sending workers to an early grave, a whole industry was created which serviced those who had been touched by deaths’ boney hands or more importantly, those it left behind.


Today on Macabre London, we uncover the era of a city in mourning.
