Her intention was to probably be cropped out of the photo with a mat so her expression would be irrelevant.

In Victorian mourning photos they are usually placed near a drape so the person can be held up without being seen, These unfortunate photos were extremely popular. All you have to do is look up mourning photos with dead people and you will see.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-57950995148299024772014-12-21T13:38:14.370-06:002014-12-21T13:38:14.370-06:00No one in this photo is dead.

The plan was to focus on the baby and crop her out. She is looking down to steady the baby and has her fingers folded back to try to keep them out of the photo.

This is not a post mortem (no one in their right mind would put a baby on the lap of a dead person because dead people cannot sit up or hold onto things. This was just a mother who was holding the child to keep it calm while being photographed. She would later have been cropped out by a frame or mat.Elagiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06933238537131559630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-21594637181088962482009-10-19T07:34:00.254-05:002009-10-19T07:34:00.254-05:00Not quite as creepy, I have a picture of my mother...Not quite as creepy, I have a picture of my mother's family made after her mother died. My mother was 5 and her sister 6 when she died and they didn't have a picture of the four of them together. My mother remembered that her Aunt stood in for the picture and they replaced her head with that from a portrait my grandparents had stood for. I guess it was a 1920's version of photoshopping.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06289630269247449304noreply@blogger.com
