From “Old Ireland in Colour 3” www.oldirelandincolour.com 😵 I SEE DEAD PEOPLE, c. 1910, IRELAND Postmortem photography was a Victorian-era practice that became a way of memorialising the dead. The corpse was often posed beside living family members, and on some occasions eyes would be painted onto the photograph after it was developed, which was meant to make the deceased appear more lifelike. © the Breslin Archive, used with permission | Old Ireland in Colour
