Victorian Postmortem Photography

Painting the dead was a common occurrence for centuries, so it’s no surprise that in the Victorian era, postmortem photography became standard practice.

The beginnings of memento mori photography can be traced back to the invention of photography. During the 19th century, postmortem portraits were used to announce and mourn the death of a loved one, especially a baby or child. All social classes engaged in the practice, which became more widespread after the introduction of the daguerreotype photo in 1839. The subjects of the photos were generally arranged to appear as if asleep or even in standing positions.

For the poor during this era, many peoples only photograph was taken after they died. Families would scrape together enough money to have a memorial photo of the deceased family member with surviving members. For many, these staged photos were the only family portraits ever taken. These photos were kept in the family’s memorial album.

And some days we're all alone
On the banks of the Rhine
And some days all we have was worth while
And some sing dreams of spears chosen once in life
And some days we're all alone
On the banks of the Rhine

Went down the hill, the other day
My soul got happy and stayed all day

Oh lordy, trouble so hard
Oh lordy, trouble so hard,
Don't nobody know my troubles but God
Don't nobody know my troubles but God

Went in the room, didn't stay long,
Looked on the bed and brother was dead

Oh lordy, trouble so hard
Oh lordy, trouble so hard,
Don't nobody know my troubles but God
Don't nobody know my troubles but God

In my dreams I'm dying all the time
As I wake
It's kaleidoscopic mind
I never meant to hurt you
I never meant to lie
So this is goodbye
This is goodbye

Каждый раз, как вижу эту гифку, думаю, специально ему костяшки покрасили или нет. Если специально, то очень продуманные у них там мейкапщики однако.
