while the child at 5:33 is a living portrait, there may be some documentry evidence that came with this portrait that indicates it was used as a memorial for the child. I have one such as this from a cousin on tin-type. I think the parents wished to remember her 'as she lived'.
It seems the 'modern' way of thinking,in many cultures,is to simply hide death away,almost as if we can hold off it's grasp.We all have to face it at some point,no-one escapes it.
@decimated550 Sadly I think the photographer would have had a bag of props to fix the face into certain positions or even gone so far as to sew the inner mouth in to that facial expression.
@Anastasia4141 - that's because you're looking at this with year 2011 eyes. The way your brain processes this and the concept of death in general is very different than in those old days. Even if you were born back then you'd be a different person, your personality would not be the same, the attitudes and environment of the era would shape your thinking. Death is something which happens in your mind only in accidents or to old people. But disease and death were much more frequent visitors then
it's interesting how as a socity we change our views on death. back then and even before the victorians death close by living to 40 was probly average. now a days we seem glance at death and move on.
I don't know why, but if I were the man who prepares and dresses the dead women, sure they'll have some of my liquids inside their cocks, seriously, I could try Necrophilia, beautiful women deserve something good
@ladyyuna2000 this was a very normal thing to do back in the old days and not considered disrespectful. photography was so expensive back then, and parents may not have gotten around to taking their children's photographs before they died, so for many, this was the only opportunity they had to get a picture and remind them of their passed on child.
@ladyyuna2000 people didn't take pictures of their dead loved ones out of disrespect infact in some cases it was one of the sweetest things they could do because they wanted to remember them. one photograph was all they could have and cherish forever dont forget that alot of people in this world were very poor back then and couldn't afford photographs whenever they wanted them.
@ladyyuna2000 I grew up thinking the same as you and I still do, but I can understand why they took photos back then. None of the old pictures I've seen on the internet look like anyone is showing the deceased any disrespect. It seems that it was done with respect and love.
The reason they did this is photos were very expensive only rich people had photos. So in most cases the family would want to afford it since it would be the only family photo with the deceased .
@Garfield2011Odie ty i think ur last sentence is the essence of these photos they are a testament of love to a life that was loved etc ty for these vids
when i look at these photos it reminds me of how death was a expected and often far too soon part of life. i see the love for those who have died they are dresed in their finest clothes there is nothing nasty about the photos they are surrounded by flowers and the children their toys they are very much a loved member of the families ~ they are not just discarded in garbarge bags in some river or garbage tip
i dont get why some ppl think these r horrible and unhuman but what they dont get that it was a different time then and this was tradishional. personily i think these photots r beautiful, in that time taking photos was horribly expencinve so most ppl only got there pic take when they died, to the family this is there way of remembering them, scence they had no photos whats so ever of there children they wanted this one to remember them what they looked like so they wont forget there babys face
It must have been hard to pose a dead man in a chair.and that poor girl to have to pose w/her dead,standing brother w/his arm wrapped around her shoulder,for what 20 min. to expose the pics.?Torture! At the beginning when they showed both the dead mother and baby in different caskets,why not just bury the baby in it's mothers arm? I know it's what the mother wd have preferred,to hold her baby for all eternity!
This was simply awesome. I like the fact that in the days they would try their best to make them look asleep or awake. Did you know that they had stands to hold them up whenever they needed one of the dead to look as if he's standing? I saw the whole thing and was totally amazed.
The girl in 8:42 looks very modern almost like she doesn't belong in the photo.I need to stop watching these.They're putting me in a funk.Not even sure how I got here.I think death fascinates and scares us.It's something we all will have to face eventually.
los bebes mas chiquitos que estan en su ataud, parecen muñecos guardados en una caja, algunos eran hermosos, pero me pregunto yo, las personas que se tomaban fotos con los difuntos, no se habrán enfermedo?
@valenzuela1998 no creo, los muertos no contagian enfermedades lo impresionante es que si te das cuenta la mayoria no expresan en sus caras el dolor de la perdida si no la preocupacion de posar para la foto recuerda que esas fotos tardaban horas en tomarse no como ahora con un solo clic y los estilos varian de los europeos a los norte americanos y latinos
impresionante como dices es macabro no en el mal sentdo lo que pasa es que ahora tenemos otra manera de pensar en la muerte la mayoria aceptamos que es parte de la vida pero no queremos saber de ella hasta que no queda otra opcion te dire que tuve que hacerme a la idea para ver tu video para que no me afectase mas por los niños pero estas fotos sin querer los imortalizaron y sabemos que hubo un niño que nacio y murio no importa como ni cuando solo lo sabemos y eso es lo que importa bien
@soygatocallejero hola, yo tengo dos bebes uno de casi un año y el otro casi de dos, para mi es muy doloroso ver estas fotos, mas que nada por mis niños. Dentro de lo que cabe, son fotos muy bonitas y tristes, según eso, la gente de antes queria atrapar de alguna manera el alma del difunto, para nosotros es muy impresionante por que no estamos acostumbrados
Death pictures, they may seem strange to us now but, not to long ago they were common place. I can even feel the grief of the parents when I see a photo of a child. It seems to jump right off the page me. Annie:)
Makes me sad that back then they didn't find cures for childhood sickness..like we have today with shots for chicken pox and stuff..RIP for all the sweet children..
I thought that this video was just so touching. I think that we as a society are too afraid of what real life is all about. We live and we die, and we should be able to rejoice it all. But so many are to afraid of the unknown. Thank you for posting this video, it was very touching.
Que triste es ver las fotos de los niños, y de los padres cargando a su bebe muerto, en alguna parte leí que era tan dificil tomarse una foto que al momento de la muerte "era merecido" tomarse esa ultima foto. Según se ve, en algunos casos era notable que se habían esperado dias para la foto.
Por cierto, buen video... creo que cada época tiene su forma de ver la muerte, en ésa eran fotografías, antes se les enterraba con objetos de valor, etc, no hay por qué decir que estas personas estaban enfermas de la mente, era la manera de aquél entonces mostrar ese gran amor y aprecio por el ser querido y al no ser tan accesibles las fotografías, se plasmaba un último recuerdo.
All these people died over 100 years ago. I think this is wonderful to have these up to remember them as once living beings. They're surely the forgotten over time people, their family's don't even know who they are now and are forgotten people to the world. This lets you know they were here! Even if forgotten some how still remembered. They did love their beloved dead family member. That is why the pictures were taken in respect of their life and loss of life. God Bless all the souls!
If the child at 00:12 was actually deceased, then how was he standing next to a table? I know that they manufactured stands that held up a corpse like a doll stand, but there isn't anything like this in that picture. And 5:36 shows the child smiling. So did they really go as far as to manipulate their childs face for these pictures? That IS creepy, and people in Victorian times were weird, and disrepectful to deceased loved ones.
@LadyLotus74 The child at 00:12 is definitely standing with the aid of a prop. You can see the waist bar just to the side of his right hip, and one of the leg stands at his inside left ankle. Although some may find this disrespectful, remember that during this period, photographs were still very expensive to commission. The deceased adults would be unlikely to have had a recent photo taken of them and the children, even more likely. This way, the parents had at least one photo of their child.
@LadyLotus74 Too true. I know that the practice still continues to a certain degree. Many parents who have lost a child through premature birth or have had a child who was stillborn, often have photos taken of themselves with their child, as again, this will be the only picture they will ever have of them. It does seem unusual, but I think it's a very sad but touching way of honouring the memory of a child whose life ended before it even began.
@TheDecapitatedMonkey i lost my son at birth, he was stillborn, i also have pictures of him, because, as you say, its the only pictures i´ll ever have of my child, some people may find it weird but for the people who´s lost a child it is a beautifull thing....
@TheDecapitatedMonkey I think it helps them to accept it as final and real. Some people , after the fact, wish that they could have taken a last photo so they could commit the loved ones face to memory.
The child at 5:08 looks like he has no legs or actually nothing from the waist down...my guess, uh? Death by traumatic injury or traumatic amputation...any one else got any ideas?
Ok I'm not going to move any critic to this since we are talking about things that happened quite a long time ago. I find this very sad though, and impressive especially when they made the dead stand up using those strange machineries. What's more, some of them showed evident signs of suffering and illness which makes everything even more sad.

you must remember photos back then for eveyone wasnt easy to come by and cost alot of money, so a mortuary offering a photo of your deceased love one as well as the funeral etc must have been an opportunity to take while u could.
must have been heart breaking for these familys posing with their dead loved ones espeshily if the deceeced was a kid id have gone to peices if it had been my kid or sibling but their so brave and keeping a straight face
@karen2006p i think it is in some parts but most of the pepole today find it morbid well i do anyway id rather enjoy photos of the deceeced when they were alive but i think some pepole still take photos
It is actually becoming popular again to do this. My grandfather took pictures of all his brothers and sisters and his own son in their caskets. My mother has the photos and they are modern photos. I know a girl who had a still birth and had family portraits taken with the child and it is apparent the child was born early and deceased. It was a bit unnerving to see it... but I can understand why in the past centuries this was done as there WERE no photographs to remember loved ones by.
@tickingcounterparts ...not my family...:/..I'm so ...?( words fail me) in my family's reaction to me suggesting pictures be taken of some of our loved ones who passed on recently....I was treated like I was morbid or something...for me...it was purely sentimental...I don't know...I wanted to remember them in life and their final moment...I found these post motem pictures on youtube here...very touching...very sad...I guess I'm still trying to understand some of my family's negative reactions
Its interesting that in past eras, it was a usual practice to take pictures of the deceased. Now its a no-no. At least, I've never heard of the practice being done today.
Some overseas practice don't embalm the deceased but the children look like they're sleeping dolls. Some i can tell they were sick cause of the frail bodies or sunken in face. Back then in those days they didn't have the proper medicines for diseases or the flu. In those days nobody knew what SIDS was . More children died back then ., than now. No experienced doctors.
These are excellent photos. Takes us back to those times. I just learned some of the people posed standing up were indeed deceased. That had to be available only to the very wealthy. Thank you for this. They are now all at peace!
@lyricalaska Yeah I would say that they had to have money. They hold them up with a prop that looks just like a doll stand. The pics that bother me are the ones where you can see them decomposing. Or with their eyes just half open
bueno en realidad sentimos la imprecion k nos deja la muerte y talvez el imaginar k nosotros o alguien de nuestra familia puede verse asi algun dia.. lo k me causa curiosidad es el saber k les paso a esos pekeñines k les corto su vida? extraño pero no puedo dejar de verlas super el video aunk si un poko macabro..
si tienes razon es un poco macabro y mas yo viendo el video a las 3:03am jajajaj pero bueno es un buen concepto el que manejas acerca de familiarizarnos con la muerte, en eso tenes razon grax por subirlo saludos :D

I've seen the pic at 8:43 several other places and the expression of
anguish on the older sister's face while holding her dead little brother
is striking. Back then her baby brother was probably her charge, since
Mama was doing chores and taking care of other children. Kids didn't
have many toys, no electricity, radio, etc so a baby brother or sister
was cherished by them. People now don't realize how real and close
death was in those days. Children died often. It was part of life.

Some overseas practice don't embalm the deceased but the children look like they're sleeping dolls. Some i can tell they were sick cause of the frail bodies or sunken in face. Back then in those days they didn't have the proper medicines for diseases or the flu. In those days nobody knew what SIDS was . More children died back then ., than now. No experienced doctors.

I've not noticed any of them decomposing except perhaps of Evita Peron.

These are excellent photos. Takes us back to those times. I just learned some of the people posed standing up were indeed deceased. That had to be available only to the very wealthy. Thank you for this. They are now all at peace!

@lyricalaska Yeah I would say that they had to have money. They hold them up with a prop that looks just like a doll stand. The pics that bother me are the ones where you can see them decomposing. Or with their eyes just half open

some of these people don't look dead, especially when they have their eyes open !
