This morning card marking the death of Queen Victoria has verses written by a poet signed E.M. On the front, there is an embossed design of a medal with a cameo profile portrait of the Queen and ribbon in purple and black. The campaign bars are printed 'Victoria: In Memoriam' and below is printed 'Blessed are the Dead' and 'She sweetly sleeps, The toilful day of life is o'er'. The cream card has a black border. Such cards were bought by the general public as a way of mourning the queen's death and acknowledging her long reign.
