new post mortem photo – sisters?

victorian post mortem photography skull illusion antiquephotoalbumnl girls

This post mortem photograph was found on Pinterest, but I think it originally came from Antique Photo Album. I don’t think there can be too much argument about the little girl on the left being deceased – the pinpoint pupils on her eyes look to me very much as if they’ve been ‘dotted in’ by the photographer after the image was developed.

What do you think?

    I agree and he’s done the left one a bit wonky and left her with a squint, poor love :(

  2. Her living sister looks so sad and bewildered, bless her.

    Are her shoes on the wrong feet?

    Oh, I didn’t know that! No, there’s no date (that I can see, at least) – I’ve reproduced the image completely ‘as is’.

    Hahaha, you would be AMAZED at the random trivial info that I’ve amassed from tv shows over the years. Or maybe not ;)

    And thank you :) xx

    Her shoes do look as if they are on the wrong feet 8ut often shoes were made to fit on either foot.. there was no left or right shoe…though this would seem a little late to 8e that as it generally happened in a slightly earlier period.
