Summary: Pictures Of Dead People
Comment: Interesting picture book of dead people and funerals. In the mid to late 1800s, it was popular for people to take pictures of dead loved ones (almost like that person was still alive) as a rememberance of that person. No gore, or accident scenes.
This book explains why people did, and still do, take pictures of dead people and their funerals and use those pictures of those they love to mourn their loss.
