Question for David or anyone else who may know. I just noticed or realized that the label on the back of the photo advertises that Boellinger will photograph your "Corpse". Certainly a strange thing this day & time (and I know it was fairly common to photograph the deceased back then) but my question is - was it common to advertise in that manner back then? Have you seen another label stating as such? Almost seems like it would have been a given that the local photographer would take pictures at the funeral. It does not seem like you would have had to advertise??
Shawn, |

Nice pick-up, Shawn! You have a good friend. He deserves some congrats, too! Things like this reinvigorate me in my searches.

Nice score! Good for you...if you sell you should split it with your pal. You wouldn't have found it without him and he wouldn't have bought it without you.

I haven't seem a corpse ad before, though memorial and dead family member photos were not uncommon in the 1800s. Standard service I guess.

Thanks again everyone,
David, that what I was thinking... I have looked at allot of photos from this time & just do not remember that type of ad. Just something that is odd...
