Supposedly post mortem memento mori photograph of young child, but I’m not entirely convinced. That said, it would have been exceedingly difficult to get a live child to stay still for long enough to ensure a clear image, so…
Presumably these are siblings tucked in the coffin together, but unfortunately I don’t have any background information.
Such a very, very sad photograph.
Absolutely no reason for posting this pic, just…nnnngggghhhh… *wipes drool from mouth*
According to the site on which I found this supposedly post mortem photograph, “…the Mother is alive holding her sons death certificate and her deceased son.” (sic).
I’m not sure, though. He looks to me as if he’s holding his own weight, rather than being propped up. And although zooming in on the photo confirms that that is indeed a certificate in her hand, it could refer to just about anything – I can’t see any of the text.
What do you think?
