Hotel La Vella Farga

A strikingly restored 11th century Catalan masia in the province of Lleida, Hotel la Vella Farga features majestic old-meets-new interiors, upscale amenities, and gourmet locally sourced fare that changes with the season.

Surrounded by 300 hectares of meadows, olive groves, and lush forest, this country house turned small luxury hotel accommodates guests in 13 individually styled rooms, complete with free minibars, L'Occitane toiletries, and high-quality Egyptian cotton sheets.

The decor is an eye-catching mix of medieval architecture and exquisitely curated antiques, with ancient exposed stone walls, beautiful hardwood floors, and plush freestanding baths.

A handful of idyllic outdoor terraces and an elegant infinity-edge pool offer uninterrupted views of the Catalan countryside, while adding to the tranquil experience.

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.
