I got a Victorian Photo Album for christmas, it's from France and belonged to Mr and Mrs Marcel Breton, its a wonderful album, full of great pictures of children and a fantastic postmortem photograph of what i would guess is one of the couples daughters, i think some of the other pictures are of her during her life, but its hard to tell, as the postmortem isn't a clear face shot, i think the chubby dark haired girl may be the one who died.
Artist, Illustrator and Collector. My work is inspired by The Macabre, Childhood, Social history, and old Folk and country music. I am a collector of old photographs, dolls, and objects of interest.
I am Also interested in Vintage medicine, mental health care, true crime and Attitudes towards death, mainly in Victorian society.
