Re: Weird Old Post Mortem Photography
None of them look scared, and most of these are not post mortem in the first place. Death was all too common, they were not sheltered from it like today. That was also a parent, sibling, BFF.....what is there to be afraid of?

Re: Weird Old Post Mortem Photography
It is a myth that the Victorians posed, propped and painted a corpse to appear alive. True Victorian post mortem photos were rare but obvious and are of a decedent lying in repose in a bed or coffin. If you question whether or not a photo is post mortem, 9x out of ten it is not post mortem.

Re: Weird Old Post Mortem Photography
Only three photos are post mortem, the obvious ones. The others look so alive because they are alive. The Victorians did not pose, prop or paint a corpse to appear alive. Those are myths. In a true Victorian post mortem photo, the decedent would be lying in repose in a bed or coffin. Period |

Re: Weird Old Post Mortem Photography
These are always pretty cool. They would use this stand thing that would go up from their feet under their clothes and strengthen to the contraption so it looked like they were standing. Also, they would paint over their eyes to make them look open which never really worked as you can see from the creepy expression andbovrrall ferkingnofbthe photo one man came into the mortuary and I asked him if his uncle was coming. He said no because he is afraid the person is going to be posed doing something. I said on no what happened to him? He said when his uncle was little he went to a funeral and they had the dead guy sitting up in a chair with his fiddle like he was playing it and he ran home. The old days were weird lol and ouvh imagine if you got a large wound you know they are going to stuff it with peppermint oil, curry powder and a snip of sage. The using forceps pull the sides of the wound to give it air. Last pour a few drops of morphine in your eye holes lol  |

Re: Weird Old Post Mortem Photography
These are always pretty cool. They would use this metal stand thing that would go up from their feet under their clothes up to behind their head. Then they can fasten the persons body to the contraption so it looked like they were standing. Also, they would paint over their eyes to make them look open which never really worked as you can see from the creepy expression it never really worked all that well, not so lifelike. A man came into the mortuary and I asked him if his uncle was coming. He said no because he is afraid the person is going to be posed doing something. I said on no what happened to him? He said when his uncle was little he went to a funeral and they had the dead guy sitting up in a chair with his fiddle like he was playing it and he ran home. The old days were weird lol and just imagine if you got a large boil or infected wound, you know they are going to stuff it with peppermint oil, curry powder and a snip of sage. Then, using forceps to pull the sides taut to give it air. Last pour a few drops of morphine in your eye holes lol |
