Holly Carter-Chappell will examine 19th-century memorial traditions and show how there are more links with modern day practices than we might think.
The Victorian use of post-mortem photography might seem morbid or even gruesome to modern eyes. In an age when photography was a special event, a portrait taken after death was often the only image that grieving relatives would have of their loved one. In this talk, Holly Carter-Chappell will examine 19th-century memorial traditions and show how there are more links with modern day practices than we might think.
Holly Carter-Chappell is the Collections Assistant at the Florence Nightingale Museum and co-curated the exhibition The Hospital in the Oatfield: The Art of Nursing in the First World War.
