Post-mortemportret van een onbekende baby 1900 - 1914

A. Vannier's "Post-mortemportret van een onbekende baby" is a poignant example of a post-mortem photograph, a practice common in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The image captures a deceased infant, posed in a peaceful slumber, highlighting the fragility of life and the enduring desire to preserve memories. The use of an oval frame emphasizes the intimate nature of the subject matter, while the faded tones of the photograph evoke a sense of time passing and the bittersweet nature of remembrance.
