Re: Hanging Out at the Nursery (Weird Child Warning)
Do you think maybe the second one is a result of that ghoulish but eternally loveable 19th century fetish of death photography?

Re: Hanging Out at the Nursery (Weird Child Warning)
I don't think so, it was customary in the old days for relatives to take a photo with a deceased loved one, one such photo exists in my family dating from the 1940s, an aunt sitting in a chair holding her dead one month old baby boy in her lap, her sister standing at her right. In the photo posted I suppose the husband wanted to have a post mortem picture of her wife and two children (they probably died in an accident) this photo appears to be from the 1880s-1900s |

Re: Hanging Out at the Nursery (Weird Child Warning)
The pics posted are usually part of a set here are the rest. Two are from the same orphanage, the girl tied to the tree may be related. The crying children are from a Romanian orphanage. Happy Halloween.

Re: Hanging Out at the Nursery (Weird Child Warning)
Go look at this thread http://www.documentingreality.com/fo...fashion-64259/ I am 99% sure the same person did this family. I know the bulging eye baby-face was taken off a new born baby cause I've seen the picture . It's really cool, but it's not real. |
