Alice Montgomery (1850-1917), 1850. Creator: Enoch Long (American, 1823-1898)
Alice Montgomery (1850-1917), 1850. Children have always been particularly cherished subjects for photography. Portraits were made to preserve the memory of their stages of growth and, in an age when long-distance travel was rare, to share with faraway relatives. And, for a sadder reason: in 1840 an estimated one-third of children died before age five. Photography offered grieving parents the opportunity to immortalize their childrens features. This tragic genre of photographs, later called " post-mortems, " often depicts the children in fine clothing, laying down with eyes shut, as if merely napping
