@ptowncook I sell antique photography for a living, and this is a great sample of what we find. People entertained themselves in so many ways. You have to remember that photography was still a very new thing, and not economically available to the masses until the beginning of the 2oth century. You would surprised the crazy things. BTW, it was very common to photograph a dead relative in their coffin. Many wakes and visitations were in the home, and it was considered a respectful thing to do. The craziness, is like our social media feeds today!
@welcometocarolworld My mom was an antique dealer. I collect morning jewelry and love the photo memorial jewelry. I lost a piece that I really loved. Still hurts. My brother-in-law grew up in a small town in Texas. His family always took photos of loved ones in the caskets or beds at home.
