Note

This object tells us a little of the world Margaret lived in; one needing candle power. Does it also show she had a sense of play in enjoying the idea of an owl lighting her way or was an owl a normal motif for light in late Victorian era Victoria? She died within a year of marriage so it's likely to have been a wedding present. Was there another for Alfred? Alternatively it may have been part of the necessities for setting up house, but if so, why the initials?
