Urban funerals
The diversity in the Collection’s funeral carriages reveals the different models of funeral carried out in Barcelona from the mid-19th century until well into the 20th century. The variety of sizes, shapes, materials, mechanisms, colours and ornaments of the carriages also explains the differences among users: the bourgeois and leading figures, craftsmen and the well-to-do, workers and the miserably poor, children, maidens and nuns, companions and widows.
To the solemn presence of a hearse would be added the formation of the funeral entourage, which complemented an urban staging typical of the ritual of the time. Composition of the entourage and citizen participation marked the difference between the funerals of distinguished figures and those of anonymous individuals. A similar social distinction also existed in people’s homes, working conditions and lifestyles. Nonetheless, they all shared the rites and customs that formed part of a long, complex process which began with administration of the Eucharist, known as the Viaticum, and transfer of the dead person. The wake, with the body present, attendance of the clergy at the home of the deceased, transfer by hearse of the coffin to the church to perform the exequies or funeral rites, and the final journey to the cemetery where the interment took place. These were just some of the episodes followed by most Barcelona families when it came to saying farewell to a loved one.
The institution that took care of organising funeral activities in Barcelona as from 1838 was the Casa de Caritat or alms-house which, with it catalogues of carriages, offered a range of services and categories of funeral, but which also worked to achieve a dignified obsequy for all.
Hugo Comte photo for 032c Magazine
I most drawn to the composition and subtle use of props in this photograph, as well as the richness of the lack of colour.
Everything from the porcelain completion of the models skin which is picked up from the lighting, and the bright yet overcast opacity of the sky exposing the detail and age of the buildings surrounding them.
It is stylised but also remains quite understated and cool.
Pictures snapped at the flat of designer Jan Lindenberg. Jan's table, and a copy of 032c (which contains my article about IDEA magazine, as it happens).
Sangritana (FAS Ferrovia Adriatico Sangritana - TUA Group) Electric loco 483 032 (NVR 91 83 2483 032-5 I-SGR) stabled on track 4 at San Giorgio di Piano BO. I found it today - 03/06/2003 - most probably the loco has a technical problem during the last week-end days and it has been stabled waiting to be recovered.
