Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Here Lies gathers the sly, sharp and often tender inscriptions chiselled into stone that refuse to be merely mournful. Gravestones speak with wry humour. This humorous epitaphs collection reads as a tombstone inscriptions anthology and a curious epitaphs book: an assembly of funny gravestone sayings, quirky memorial quotes and queer inscriptions that reveal social manners, private jokes and the Victorian-era wit of past centuries. The entries range from ancient pithiness to nineteenth-century inscriptions, offering both immediate amusement and unexpected insight into rituals of remembrance. As a historic document it sits at the crossroads of humour and history, an archive of attitudes to mortality that collectors of collectible humour classics will value and casual readers will cherish. Readers interested in family history will find it useful as a genealogy research resource, while anyone intrigued by British and American tombstones or by historic cemetery humour will delight in its compact pleasures. Balanced with light editorial context, it suits armchair browsers and classic literature collectors alike, and is ideal as a gift for history lovers or as a curious addition to a classics shelf. More than a curiosity, the book preserves language that often vanishes from parish registers: nicknames, occupational jokes, affectionate mockery and the occasional bravado. For students of cultural history and readers drawn to oddities, the book acts as both a lens and a ledger, making nineteenth-century inscriptions speak anew. Its tone swings from deadpan to mischievous, producing a steady stream of funny gravestone sayings and quirky memorial quotes that reward repeated reading. It belongs on the shelf of anyone interested in a curious epitaphs book or in assembling collectible humour classics - a readable oddity that rewards both casual curiosity and careful study.Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.…
