Atsu Harada was born in 1962 in southern Japan. Surrounded by the natural abundance of mountains and the sea, it was here that his lifelong passion for wildlife, and wildlife art, began. He continued to paint even while pursuing the corporate career expected of his generation, and ultimately left the business world to devote himself to art full-time. He seeks to portray the astonishing diversity of life, and only regrets there will never be enough time to depict it all.

Stiff Pose Victorian Postmortem photography (140 Pics)

Postmortem photography or memento mori, the photographing of a deceased person, was a common practice in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The photographs were considered a keepsake to remember the dead. Child mortality was high during the Victorian era. For many children even a common sickness could be fatal. When a child or other family member died, families would often have a photograph taken before burial. Many times it was the first and last photograph they would ever possess of their loved one. Many postmortem photographs were close-ups of the face or shots of the full body. The deceased were usually depicted to appear as if they were in a deep sleep, or else arranged to appear more life-like. Children were often shown on a couch or in a crib, often posed with a favorite toy. It was not uncommon to photograph very young children with a family member, most frequently the mother. Adults were more commonly posed in chairs or even propped up on something.
