"The Dead"

During the Victorian period of the United Kingdom, 1837 – 1901, a gruesome tradition, “Post Morem Photo on Dead”, meant to take photographs of, or to take photographs of, the dead.

But not only is it simple to take pictures of their remains, they also use props and makeup skills to make dead people appear in photographs as if they were still alive.

People in that period chose to take pictures with their lost family because they wanted to take the last chance to leave them behind, because they were less developed and less popular at that time, unlike the modern ones, where we had a chance to take pictures every day, and were often reluctant to do so, so it meant a lot to those who died.

It took a long time, as long as 30 seconds, until 15 minutes, to take a picture of the time, which meant that the living had to pose with the dead in front of the camera, often for a few minutes.

In photographs like this, the dead tend to be the most clearly photographed, because the dead are still in the long photo shoot, and even if they remain in the same position, it will be difficult for the living to make some small movement in a few minutes, so it will be slightly blurred in the photographs.

The photo taken with the deceased, then known as “Momento Mori”, is in the Latin word “Memorance of the Dead” and reminds us that, apart from taking pictures of the dead, we will all end up facing death, and therefore should not fear death, but accept the fact that it exists and take care of every day before we live.

Why are the most common pictures of children in the crowds of dead people? That is because of the high number of deaths in childhood in the age of under-developed medical care and lack of vaccines.

The dead photographers will design pictures of the dead to make them look alive in photographs, such as the dead girl who is reading a book in this photo below.

They used to pose for the deceased on the basis of their favorite recreational activities, and the picture of the girl ' s face was somewhat blurred because the body had slipped slightly during the photograph.

Once a man dies, his muscles will not be able to provide the strength to support him, so photographers sometimes rely on props to hold him on a pole, as the girl in the picture actually has a support.

The family sometimes takes pictures of the dead and the loved ones, as shown below by the little girl and her favorite doll.

It's like a girl playing with a doll half asleep.

There are times when a couple of dead people, like Mom in the picturemom died in childbirth, and only the one on the right side of the three babies who took her picture survived.

not every professional photographer is willing to take pictures of the dead, let alone physically touch the body.

as a result, clients usually come from families from small to wealthy.

information was not as well developed as it is today, as well as the technology for the preservation of corpses.

as a result, funerals are often held soon after the death, and the news of the dead is published through newspapers and magazines, so the first thing that can be seen when the family arrives at the scene of death is to photograph the body immediately.

and they're used to obituary obituaries of the dead, no matter how miserable.

sometimes the body is too rigid to remove the eyelids so that the dead person can look alive in the photograph, so the photographer sometimes paints the eyelids on the victim's eyelids, as illustrated.

it's even more creepy when you paint your eyes! sometimes it's hard to determine who's alive and who's dead in a photo.

guess which one is dead? the answer is the one on the right, and his simpler stand is a clear hint, and the support frame behind his right foot is more of a sign.

i'm sorry
