Loving Wife With Dead Hubby Postmortem Photo
Product Description
Postmortem pictures were photos taken after death. In Victorian times photography was so expensive photos were generally not taken of the living. Postmortem photos allowed families to have an image of the deceased to mourn loved ones. Many bodies were propped up using specialized stands and often the eyes are closed as if sleeping, staked open or painted on. This Postmortem Cabinet Card is of a Loving Wife with Dead Hubby looking apprehensive to have her hand on him. His hand is in an unnatural position as is the blank stare on his face.
