The baby does appear to be wearing a christening gown.

So many old photos, nobody smiled.
This couple is not quite smiling, but you can see it in their eyes

The reason they didnt usually smile is because you had to be a still as possible for a long time/exposure

I also read that they were trying to imitate a painted portrait where no one was ever smiling.

Looks like a death photo. Babies eyes appear drawn on.

I knew someone would come up with this bullshit
via Facebook
I beg your pardon? It is not bill shot but a way people dealt with their grief during that time. You are rude
via Facebook
The baby is blurred in spots...meaning it moved, doubt its post mortem
via Facebook
I don't think mom would be carrying her purse for a post mortem picture.....looks like they were on their way out the door, and someone said, " let me get a photo".....and by this time they did have ordinary cameras....but, it's a goofy way to hold the baby so she/he would be the focus.....ha

I thought it was a death photo as well. If you enlarge the picture it looks like the baby was added to the photo.

You saw the comment, I'm sure - the baby lived into her 80's.

AncientFaces You sure have a group of morbid followers. This child is alive.

Toni Leah Medvetz I KNOW about pm photography.. you clearly don't.theres always someone who comments that a picture is pm. Learn the signs..the background,The dress,border round the picture, lividity, facial expressions...

AncientFaces Actually the link you provided says 90.....1895 to 1985....

They think everybody ever photographed was dead...possibly even the photographer..

Baby's eyes are just like moms eyes. The poll is probably part of what baby is sitting on. I think the baby is alive and well

Get over yourself Donna Appleby. So you are an expert in all things. Even rudeness. I said it looked like a pm photo. My opinion and I believe I am entitled to that.
via Facebook
We all know that there are those people who will hold to an opinion even if they have been proven wrong. They have the right to be completely wrong and ignorant if they want to.
via Facebook
Babys feet are moving, to me is not a post mortem
via Facebook
I laugh every time someone sees an old picture and claims to be able to see the sadness in the eyes. They are also the same people who see a speck of dust in a picture and carry on about that spot being haunted.

That beautiful baby must be sitting on something. If mom and dad were holding her free style you would be seeing her neck more if she were dangling in air. Its a lovely family picture, and mom looks happy dad is trying to look reserved. I hope they had a good day after picture was taken.
via Facebook
There's a pole on the right side holding up the dead baby, no one holds their live baby that way
via Facebook
Adrianne Balcom there is no way that is a cane. Who holds their baby sitting on a post by just their hands? Duh
via Facebook
AncientFaces yah right, check out how they are holding her! No one would hold a live baby that way!
via Facebook
As opposed to sticking their deceased baby on a pole?? The baby lived into her 80's as told to you by THE OWNER of the picture. It's sat on a high chair with ma and pa holding its hands..its feet have wiggled causing blurring.. .
via Facebook
Donna Appleby that's what they use to do! Take pictures of the dead with family members, no one holds a baby on a post
