More Information


Family photos with the dead were common in the early years of photography. In photography’s early years it was common for families to gather around the body of a loved one for a photo.
In most cases, these were the only pictures ever taken of that person. For memories sake, these have become collectible for all the right reasons....or sometime the macabre.

Approx. measures 8 by 10" diameter

From a Wisconsin estate. Ribbon in front of casket shows the lettering 'Mother'

Large family gathering with more than likely friends and family. Sad day. This is an old photo but looks like it was taken of another photo as you can see the wood framed exterior.

Condition:  Very good with the normal wear. See photos as part of description.

Please see and enlarge photos and email prior to purchase. Thank you.
