The genre of "post mortem"-posthumous photos

Β Β Β Βictorian era was extremely popular to make photos with dead relatives. They tried to give the deceased as natural a pose as possible, drew his eyes and even poured a special solution into them to make the eyes shine as if they were alive. Since in those times there was a very high mortality rate among children, and they simply did not have time to make a photo as a memento, there are many photos of children among the "post mortem" genre.
