Acompaño a usted en el sentimiento. El valor patrimonial de las invitaciones funerarias de comienzos del siglo XX

Abstract

Mourners and religious orders will devote to create invitations for praying and funeral ceremonies of the deceased. These cards, due to their artistic component and content, constitute a documental asset, and an instrument that strengthens the cultural heritage and the memory of Cuenca´s society in the beginnings of the 20th century
