Greetings,
I think I have that fashion plate, or at least others wearing that same colour.
It was a popular colour and I love it too. They sure liked green during that
time. If you asked me to go by the colour name, I would have said it was
the colour of Granny Smith apples.
However,
The only thing I've seen is a packet of postcards. Nice, but not much use.

This question made me curious because I've seen so many photos labeled PM
when I thought they weren't. And of course I stare with same morbid
curiosity as the next person (Thanatos?)! But standing poses - I don't
know. It's practically impossible to hold an unconscious person upright - I
know this
Thank you for the suggestion. I would very much like to see this
exhibit, but unfortunately my trip isn't until March.
Is there a permanent exhibit on display on the Costume Institute? I
can't seem to find any information one way or the other on the Met's
website.

I really like Danielle's fourth recommendation, both as a lovely color and as a
good match for the plate, at least as far as my computer's monitor is
concerned. Failing that, I'd go for the third.

I also like Danielle's fourth recommendation - if the fabric in the dress is
the same as the yardage shown. If that's too iffy, I'd go with the African

It isn't impossible. Difficult, yes. But not impossible. As any EMT worker
can tell you. Yes, it is difficult. But that's why you used things like
stands, or straps.

I also think this is the best match.
Surprisingly, if the woman in the photo is wearing the fabric in the photos, it
is another possibility.

What a bright and cheery way to start the year.
Was the cross added by family or could it be a mark made by the
photographer for the touch-up artist? Maybe not, it looks more like a
Christian cross than an X
Either way, speaking as someone who has just spent a week dressing
human forms filled
No. Odd pose is probably natural for a little guy who couldn’t stand still.
Belt not all that odd for the era. Dunno about the shoes (or the lack). I’d
guess if they weren’t rich he might have to wait for an older sibling’s pair??
In my experience postmortem photos were universally shot with
Didn't they ever use stands to keep live infants in position for the
time necessary for the photo? It's not like the parents can just tell
them to keep still.
