|'FUNERAL OF MR DARWIN'. While the great and the good, who processed behind the coffin, gathered in the Chapter House at midday (see the previous lot), only thirty-three cards allowed admission to the Jerusalem Chamber, an hour earlier: 'The Darwins and Wedgwoods queued in the Jerusalem Chamber, thirty-three in all, including Galton. William, the principal mourner, stood at their head, Parslow and Jackson [Darwin's former and current butler] behind the family' (Desmond and Moore, p.666). This card, and the one in the previous lot, was issued to Darwin's cousin, Clarke Hawkshaw, from whom it has descended to the present owner.
