Noooo, that's awful, but I suppose the fact that there were no previous photos of the deceased means they want a likeness to cling to. Macabre the way the photos are staged tho |

As it was explained to me ' death was to the 19c what sex was to the 20th'. |

One of my rellies was also a Victorian photographer in the 1890s but me being a bit thick never gave it a thought that he would do that kind of work and hes got a well known name has well, just goes to show we have to be careful how we act in this life because we don't know is coming after us :-D :-D :-D |
