    Re: Victorian Postmortem Photography

    I have a nice collection of postmortem glass plates.Here is one of them. When enlarged on my computer i could see that there is a bullet hole in the center of the bible.This is a family member that i found in a stack of plates.The other plates are of farms and steam tractors.
