Victorian era post-mortem photographThe girl standing in the photo is dead. Notice the unnatural positioning of the hands, how the pupils are painted on closed eyelids. You can see a base behind the girls feet. A post would go up from that with clamps at the waist and neck, the clothing would be open at the back. The arms would have stiff wires running at the back to hold them in place.
