Three Angels – Victorian Death Photo

During the Victorian era most families did not have photos of themselves or their children.  To remember the face of a lost loved one a family would hire a photographer to take a photograph of the deceased family member with the deceased person or a photograph of the deceased person alone.  In many cases they’d stage a scene where the deceased person was set up into a position to feign life.  In other cases photographs were taken of the deceased person on their death bed or in their casket – and in still other cases a parent might cover themselves in a banket and hold the deceased person in position.
