Death Photography, also known as post-mortem photography, refers to the practice of taking photographs of deceased individuals, often in a way that makes them appear as if they are still alive. This practice was particularly popular in the 19th century, when families would commission portraits of their loved ones after death, sometimes posing them in lifelike positions or settings. The photographs served as a way to memorialize the deceased and were often displayed in homes or kept in albums. Victorian society viewed these images as a means of honoring the dead, reflecting cultural attitudes toward mortality and remembrance during that era.
