This actually was a thing that happened sometimes (trigger warning - dead bodies) but assuming that there’s a corpse in every Victorian portrait is not reasonable.
I was. I tried to reference the picture from a few days ago, in which one of the persons were dead, because back in the day that was a normal thing to do.
To be fair, without knowing the referenced picture, I wouldn’t have gotten my own joke. The post removal is what shocks me most. Whatever, you lose some you win some
The old one is dead btw.
So is the young one, that picture is really old. In the picture, they’re both obviously alive
Got a source for that claim?
A quick reverse image search and reading through of different places where this was posted; noone else seems to be suggesting that it’s a dead body
Not to mention the eyes move between the top left and other photos and she’s pushing the kids hand down in the top right photo…
That’s a relief
Based on the age of the woman and the photo, I can almost certainly confirm that they are both dead. I’m sorry.
By now, yes
Plot twist, that was a picture taken yesterday on a really old camera.
Really morbid to take pictures of a kid messing around with a dead body
Except it’s not a kid messing with a dead body, the Victorians were morbid, not deranged.
I don’t know why the person you responded to claimed it was…

Oh God are you kidding???

Unfortunately nobody got my joke…
Haha it was clever
I got it. Jesus, people around here are literal.
