Albert Keepsake
Is this paragraph correct?
A widely popular theme in the Victorian age was the taking of post-mortem photography (also known as memorial portraiture or memento mori), as a keepsake to remember the deceased. Especially common with infants and young children, the photography style evolved throughout the 19th century from the rendering of almost life-like figures, with rosy cheeks to images of the deceased in their coffins.
Simultaneously, under the influence of Prince Albert’s death, the custom of wearing mourning jewelry – though much older – reached its popularity peak. Aside from the customary metals, hair also became a sought after material: usually, a lock of hair was woven into knot designs for use in a broach.
Complex and contradictory, the Victorian age constructed its own paradigm of death rituals and mourning.
Yes, it’s well-written.
