Did you know?
In the 1800s, people took family portraits… with the dead.
It was called memento mori — a way to remember the departed.
They dressed the corpses in their best clothes, propped them up, and posed.
Sometimes the dead looked more alive than the living.
A single photo, a frozen goodbye.
Next time you see an old picture…
Look closely. The stillest one might not be sleeping.
