I authenticated the Bonnie and Clyde autopsy photos for an auction house. Graphic. The auction house didn't tell me the contents of the photos beforehand.
They later sent me a particularly gruesome morgue photo of JFK, with a large portion of the skull loose. That one was pretty rough.
I wasn't morally offended by them, as they were historical topics, plus it's not up to me to tell others what to collect. I would have no interest in purchasing them.
Browsing Henry's auction, I think many of the war photos are quite powerful. War isn't pretty.
