Victorian Death Photography: Postmortem Posers
Streams straight from the publisher. podnod never proxies or re-hosts episode audio.
The Victorians created the unsettling art of death photography - posing their deceased love ones in family portraits as if they were alive. How did they manage to make corpses strike poses? Why did they want to?
Maddy and Anthony are joined by Brandy Schillace, author of Death’s Summer Coat - What Death and Dying Cal Tell Us about Life and Living to flick through the strangest, and most moving, of family photo albums.
Edited by Tom Delargy. Produced by Stuart Beckwith. Senior Producer is Charlotte Long.
