Cadaver Bookmark

Captured in quiet reverence at Lawnswood Cemetery, this close-up reveals the skeletal figure adorning the Sam Wilson memorial - a striking symbol sculpted in 1918 by Edward Caldwell Spruce. While its origins lie in Victorian romanticism and the rituals of mourning, this image speaks to something older and deeper: the beauty found in transience, and the symbolic dance between death and remembrance. Graveyards hold their own quiet poetry - places where art, memory, and nature meet. Here, decay and elegance intertwine, offering a contemplative glimpse into mortality’s timeless presence.

This elegant metal bookmark features a brushed silver finish on the reverse side and comes with a coloured tassel for easy use. Measuring approximately 95 x 40mm, it’s the perfect blend of style and practicality for any book lover.
