ask.

Another thought that you might already have pursued: I'm assuming that all the
children pictured here are long gone, but did any of them leave family members
who may have heard them talk about this event? Perhaps one of your aunts told
an adult son or daughter about having to sit for this
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

I'm going to vote post mortem as well, and not just from the appearance of
the child in the photo, but also from the story passed down with it--it
makes sense to me that the reason your grandmother was so eager to get
photos of her next child was because the only one she was able to get of

I rather think this *is* a post mortem. Yes, I realize the kids are
standing, but if you've checked other PM pictures, posing them naturally
was a thing. And from the looks on those kid's faces...the other big one
was when a mother had died, you'll see these infant pictures with what

This photo was produced from my grandma's original cabinet card. My mom had
a negative pulled from it in 1960. I have another original cabinet card of
this same photo that was given to me by my grand aunt. Mine has

Oh, I think it is indeed a post-mortem photo. The light is gone from his
eyes. There's also an odd pale spot on the top of his right ear, which may
be part of the wired head support. I would presume he's shoe-less because
of post-mortem swelling (blood pooling to the lowest point), making it so
