Oh sure, put the baby next to the corpse. We did some weird things with photography back in the day. 🎞 #antiquing #postmortemphoto (at Walton, New York)
Post-mortem photography (also know as memorial portraiture or mourning portrait) is the practice of photographing the recently deceased. These photogaphs of deceased loved ones were a normal part of American and European culture in the 19th and the 20th centuries. Commissioned by grieving families, post mortem photographs not only helped in grieving, but often represented the only visual remembrance of the deceased and were among a family's most precious possessions. #postmortem #postmortemphoto #postmortenphotography #mementomori #deadgirl #mucisianuntilltheend #corpse #guitarplayer #nofilter #oldpic #roses #restinpeace #rip
