In 1858, the Prescott brothers sat for a photograph that would later become one of the most unsettling examples of Victorian post-mortem photography. At first glance, it looks like a simple portrait of two young boys — but only one of them was alive. The other had already passed away, carefully posed in a chair beside his brother. This haunting image forces us to confront the fragile line between life and death, and the strange customs of an era when families desperately tried to preserve the memory of their loved ones through photographs.
