Jprichard, I think this photography of the dead is called, "memento mori", and was common long ago. They even positioned the dead in lifelike poses, using braces much like people use to display dolls. It is said that often these photos were the only ones ever taken of the deceased child. Quite disturbing and fascinating, I agree
