Victorian Bouquet of Flowers
On July 29, 1891, The Boston Herald reported that Edna Bragg's body was
found in the Cambridgeport flats. Elsewhere on that same day, a woman
wrapped a meaningful bouquet in newspaper, and placed it carefully in her attic for safe keeping. Over 121 years later, it would be discovered by yours-truly, pondered for a moment, photographed, then dropped in the trash. Without a story to go with it, it's not much more than some dried flowers. I hope you can add your own wistful sentiments to the bouquet which will live on the internet for hopefully at least another 121 years.
