Victorian Post Mortem Photography -WARNING NOT FOR THE SENSITIVE VIEWER!

I have an interest in Victorian post mortem photography. These are some of the photos I've collected from onilne sources. These pictures are of children in the Victorian era. In that time period it was common for families to have photos taken of their children after death because photography was expensive and other family members couldn't always make it to the funeral and they wanted a momento of the deceased. . WARNING: If you're sensitive to pictures of death please do not view this video

Alina, danke für den schönen Kommentar. Der Name des Songs ist "A Childs Wish". Der Name des Autors / Komponisten in der Video-Beschreibung.

The stories behind these photos, to me, would be far more interesting than the photos themselves.

It is breaking my heart to see the faces of the parents holding their little dead children in their arms.... But i love the fact, that all those people spent a lot of money and time (and i guess they hadn't had both in abundence) to get a wonderful last picture of their beloved children, sisters or brothers. Makes me cry...
