Can’t imagine ever wanting to see this photo of my children. Surely parents were in shock when it was posed.

This made me think of something and then I remembered… Reminds me of the strange illustration in Alice in Wonderland of the Duchess and the crying baby, by the first Alice illustrator, Sir John Tenniel. Same positioning, same creep factor (for me). I can find a link if you like,

You are so right. Those illustrations always gave me the willies, as well as knowing Lewis Carroll was fascinated with the little girl.

It is but why were they posed that way, and screaming?

I believe the mouths are in that position due to the upright position of the body. They commonly posed the dead for these photos in “natural” positions. I cannot tell how old they were but they must have been close to be placed that way. Perhaps they died from an infectious disease. If it were before or after rigor mortis, the jaw muscles would be flaccid allowing the jaws to drop open by gravity. The only way to combat that would be to tie it up which would also look… odd.

Thanks for explanation. I have a family picture of my great grandmother’s dead baby.
