The contents are the sole expression and opinions, and not necessarily that of the publisher.
Post-mortem photography (also known as memorial portraiture or a mourning portrait) is the practice of photographing the recently deceased. These photographs of deceased loved ones were a normal part of American and European culture in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Commissioned by grieving families, postmortem photographs not only helped in the grieving process, but often represented the only visual remembrance of the deceased and were among a family’s most precious possessions.
Please be aware that any subject looking directly at the camera is NOT dead. A cadaver cannot focus. The eyes are always aimless and unfocused. Even if the photographer put himself directly in line with where it appeared the corpse was ‘looking’ the result would still be dead eyes. This is why eyes were painted onto the photos (and that too is obvious) if a ‘living’ look was being attempted.
Attention!
The content is not suitable for minors or sensitive people – contains photographs of dead people, which are disturbing and fearsome.
