A very interesting post mortem photo of a pretty little girl sitting up with her eyes open.  Her arms and hands have completely blackened and I suspect they took her portrait above her knees so the viewer would not see her dark legs.  Also her face is sunken under her eyes, her hair isn't particularly styled nice, and the dress appears brand new.  The unfortunate. little girl who may have grown up to be a beauty is deceased.  You might also see the strange face in the cloth upon her right leg.

Also included is a 19th century poem called The Departed Child (the last paragraph is covered for the photo).

The photo measures approx. 4" x 4.75", it has two tiny left corner creases, the poem measures 4.25", overall very good condition, sold as is.  Payment by Paypal only.
