Mourning Covers / Death Topical grouping. A somewhat morbid offering of 10 covers and postcards, plus 25 black-bordered "card inserts". All but 2 items here are pre-1900, with notable items being 1875 GB Penny Red covers (with contents) x3, a pair of covers and a postcard offering undertaking, embalming and coffin services and a mourning card which reads (in part) "In Affectionate Rembrance of Elizabeth Braithwaite...who died on Sunday the 17th day of November 1861, Aged 22 Years". Interesting material to collect, much of which can develop into research projects for the intrepid collector. Estimate =
