Victorian memorial mourning card printed in gold ink on a black ground commemorating Levi C. Tenney, who died December 3, 1895, aged 53 years, 6 months, and 1 day. The elaborate design features the heading “To the Memory of Levi C. Tenney” surrounded by ornate Victorian mourning ornamentation. At center appears a patriotic allegorical vignette showing a standing soldier figure holding a large American flag beneath the words “We Honor the Dead.” Behind the figure are memorial imagery elements including monuments and architectural forms, reflecting the late nineteenth-century tradition of patriotic remembrance frequently associated with Civil War memory culture. Below the illustration appears a sentimental memorial poem beginning “Oh, father, thy gentle voice is hushed…”, a common style of mourning verse intended for funeral distribution and family remembrance. Cards of this type were typically distributed at funerals or kept in family albums as personal memorial keepsakes. The reverse is blank. Such ornate mourning cards reflect the strong Victorian culture of remembrance and the elaborate graphic style used in late nineteenth-century American memorial printing.
