The William Vale

An architecturally striking property in central Williamsburg, Brooklyn, The William Vale is a destination in and of itself.

Stylish and contemporary, its rooms and suites come appointed with glass-enclosed rainfall showers, original art, and private balconies with sweeping skyline views.

Dining destinations include an elegant restaurant specializing in coastal cuisine from Southern Italy and a spectacular rooftop bar serving global street food and sophisticated cocktails high above New York.

Another notable feature is the hotel’s seasonal swimming pool, which, at 60 feet in length, is the longest in town.

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.
