The White Camellia
Pictures by Abbé Lorenzo Berlèse
A single white camellia from Abbé Lorenzo Berlèse's botanical plates rests above the words In Loving Memory, with a gentle message inside: remembering with love, and sharing in your sorrow. The camellia was the fashionable flower of the 1840s, and Berlèse pictured three hundred of them. For someone who is grieving.
