I found these very old Victorian Pennies in a charity shop yesterday a small bag full. The paper tells you what they are. I was happy to find them ☺️

Cryptwork #15: Cloister, Brompton Cemetery, London. This shot is taken from the entrance to the crypt that runs underneath the cemetery. I wasn't able to gain access to it, but maybe one day? Tagging @samstrzyga.bsky.social since I know she loves this place 🪦 #gothic #gothicadvent #photography

Cryptwork #14: #gothicadvent is sadly over but I've still a wealth of photography that hasn't been shared to re-tag! This Celtic cross is from Abney Park, maybe the most 'gothic' cemetery from London's "magnificent seven". It's no surprise that a rock band in the USA used the name 🖤 #photography

In Victorian England, the language of flowers, or floriography, was a popular way to convey emotions and sentiments. Specific flowers such as white lilies, dark crimson roses, black hyacinths, violets, and rosemary (as seen here) are still associated with grief, loss, and remembrance.
