This was sent to me by Carole K, a reader in the US. She spotted this image in a collage on the wall of a local antique mall, and has long been intrigued by it.
We both agree that the baby is alive – the eyes are ‘looking’ and the hand is being held up to the face with some level of muscle control – but what about the mother?
My instinct is that Mum is alive – to me, she appears to be looking down affectionately on the baby. But, as Carole rightly points out, this is quite an old photo (the other images in the collage date – as far as can be ascertained – from the early 1900′s) and it wouldn’t have been as normal back then to take pictures of mother and baby straight after birth.
