Dianne,
that's an oh-come-now. :) The seller is ignorant.
The bride is not necessarily relaxed, but sitting that way because of
her gown and corset. She is leaning slightly back, but her corset
doesn't allow her a bend at the waist. The flowers are probably not
photoshopped; she is holding the ends of the stems, which are visible.
They do stick up and look weird.
I see nothing exceptional at all about the shot.
YMMV!

I don't believe this is a post mortem photo. I don't think that
woman looks dead, she has the same rigid posture as almost any photo
taken at that time--sitting utterly still for that long would not be
conducive to a relaxed posture! The flowers do look off, but I
believe brides and grooms often posed for their wedding portrait
some time after the ceremony, so it could be her bouquet had been
dried for preservation.
