I am SO glad this fad pasted. I would haunt my family forever if they did that to me

That one of the little baby, if you look closely you can see a woman in black behind the chair kneeling...pretty wild!

The boy on the pony gave me chills.

These are very cool. I like how they try to make them look alive. A lot of the time after the picture was taken they would paint the eyes to make them look more alive. Creepy, just fucking creepy

Nice post. Some of them aren't even done well which adds to the creepy factor.

We do take such photos in modern time, in fact, it's much more popular today than it's ever been. It's a myth the Victorians posed, propped and painted the dead to appear alive. True Victorian post mortem photos were rare but quite obvious, with the decedent lying in repose in a bed or coffin. There are 6 post mortem photos here, the obvious pm photos.
