About This Design

Momento Mori postcard

Momento Mori postcard

Momento Mori postcard this vintage art is from a funeral art/woodcute design momento mori and features two skeletons standing on either side of an oval sheild/scroll with many other images associated with death and momento mori including a skull and numerous bones. The Meaning : "Respice post te! Hominem te esse memento! Memento mori!": "Look behind you! Remember that you are but a man! Remember that you'll die! " origens atributed to Ancient Rome and the custom of having a servant shout these words as generals took a victory lap thru the streets in triumph to remind them that allthought they were at the top today tomorow could see their fall/end. The phrase became linked to christians later with their focus of looking beyond earthly riches and pleasure and to the state of their afterlife. A Biblical injunction often associated with the memento mori in this context is In omnibus operibus tuis memorare novissima tua, et in aeternum non peccabis or "in all thy works be mindful of thy last end and thou wilt never sin."). As an art form it became popular in funeral art and architecture.

Bought 10 Shakespeare quotes postcards and have framed them individually and placed them around the house Love them, some are funny and some are deep and meaningful! Lovely background on some, excellent printed words. A couple of plain white cards with black print - very stricking

My order was probably an awkward one! I asked for a range of different fine-art prints, in postcard size. It was all freshly printed, delivered quickly and at a very reasonable price. Best quality matt finish I've seen on a fine-art print.
