Said to be an army hospital nurse, this post mortem (death portrait) photograph shows a young woman holding a book, possibly a small bible or testament. The revenue stamp on the back dates this image to 1864. Annapolis was the site of one of the largest Union Army Hospitals during the Civil War and at least 5 female nurses died of diseases caught while tending patients there. Three of them died in late 1863 and two died in early 1865. The 1864 stamp on this image places it between those two ... Us History, Women In History, American Civil War, American History

A dead infant on a velvet cushion. The adult lurking in the background was no doubt there to hold the baby's head upright. Still, it does provide a creepy, ominous feel to the photo, as if death itself is crouched back there. Dylan Thomas

During a search for Victorian examples of post-mortem photography, I came across these mysterious and extremely odd vintage portraits of families in which the mother is disguised as a chair. In some cases there seems to be a real attempt to make the figure of the mother appear like an actual chair; in other cases,like this one it looks like they simply want to conceal the mother's identity. Maybe it's to keep a live child still enough to take a clear photo or to keep a deceased one in positi...

Looks like a soldier who didn't return alive. Can't see the stand, but his eyes are painted on. He shows no response to his daughter's holding his hand, either. Photos Du

ca. 1855. Look at the unnatural way she holds her hands. No live girl would hold her doll that way - palm open. and the stand is visible behind her feet Victorian Dolls, Vintage Dolls, Antique Photos, Antique Dolls
