Tear Drop Memories Post Mortem Exhibit New Hope PA
Dying to see you ! Victorian Death Post Mortem & Mourning Photo Exhibition July 12th at TearDrop Memories North Fork Pet Antiques Was A Rousing Success!!
Over 300 visitors passed through our doors and were fascinated by the glimpse of the Victorian Mourning photos & history.
Victorian public speaker & re-enactor Lisa Lewis, aka Victoriana Lady, braved the near 90 degree heat dressed in full Victorian Mourning Widows Weeds at the exhibit.
Victorian woman dressed in long sleeves, long skirts and hats in 1900 whether the temperature was 30 degrees, or 90 degrees, Lewis explained to the crowd. She sure is authentic in her re-enacting!
Ms. Lewis, noted professional 19th century re-enactor, and member of the National Registry Of LivingHistoriansTravelingVictorianFashionMuseum can be seen online at www.victorianalady.com
