Neat, but the poor sibling who had to stare at his dead brother like that and hold it for the picture. :(

memento mori pictures are sad, but they are fascinating as well. The pictures of children are very sad as well . Thanks for the pics. I am new here, so I am learning as I go along. charlie4 from Canada

Re: Post Mortem Photo With One Dead & One Live Twin

I'm sorry I have to tell you this but, this is not a post mortem photo.

This is a photo of The Albino Twins of Fredricks, N.Y. In the 1860s, a photographer named Charles Eisenmann photographed thousands of circus freaks. This was one of them.

Welcome to our slightly dysfunctional family, charlie4!

Enjoy! I'm a bit behind in my posts, but, agreed. These are very sad, but, I think, nicely done.

This is how rumors get started.

Thank you, GODREKR. I stand corrected. I appreciate the info.

Their names, Charlie & Danny Hadley. I found an even cooler/creepier picture of them.

Why were they considered freaks?

Here is a link to some other cool pictures, which are available for purchase, at the time of the website post.
