a break

hello readers who are still checking on the site; my apologies for the silence over the last couple of weeks, and for the inconsistency and lack of posts over the last few months. i’m juggling a few concurrent projects at the moment, and it has left me with few moments to spend the time i feel are needed to research and provide quality content. this pause will most likely continue for the next couple of weeks through the completion of these projects at the end of june, but i will try and post intermittently as i find time until then. for readers in new york, i will have an announcement shorty regarding one of these projects, and hope you all can join me for its opening. 

thank you for your patience and support, as always please feel free to delve into the archive for older posts.

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.
