Suggested Item Description:

Antique 1910 Era Postmortem Photograph – Deceased Man in Coffin

This is an original early 20th-century postmortem photograph showing a deceased older gentleman lying in an open coffin. The image captures the man in profile view inside a fabric-lined casket with ruffled satin or crepe interior. The photo has a somber, historical feel typical of mourning photography from the period.

Details:

• Size: Approximately 4" x 5" 
• Era: Circa 1910s (determined from the estate sale photo album where it originated)
• Type: Original gelatin silver print snapshot card stock
• Condition: Good antique condition for its age. The front shows expected vintage toning, minor surface marks, and light wear consistent with a 110+ year old photograph. The cardboard backing has some age-related discoloration, spotting, and handling wear (see all photos). No major tears or heavy damage.

Please review all photos carefully — they form part of the description and show the exact condition, including any aging, marks, or imperfections.

This type of postmortem image was a common way for families to remember their loved one in the early 1900s. It is a genuine historical artifact from that era, not a modern reproduction.

Perfect for collectors of antique photography, postmortem images, Victorian/Edwardian mourning ephemera, or early 20th-century American social history.
