Rosalie Raymond White at Magnolia Cemetery-Charleston, South Carolina
Rosalie Raymond White, who died at seven months old in 1882, was one of seven children of Blake and Rosalie White. Only two of their children lived to see adulthood.
Rosalie was the White’s first child. Her likeness is carved in relief on a bassinet. Some suggest this is a death mask, which is a likeness created directly from a mold of the person’s face. At any point of the year, different flowers are planted in the bassinet.
The Victorians often used symbols and words to indicate someone “sleeping.” The bassinet represents this concept.
