List members may be interested in this contribution - Two years ago the general interest publication of the National Archives of Canada also published an article on postmortem photographs of children in the Victorian era drawn from their own collection. The article is in engl/french with many photographs. The cite: Eleanor Brown, "Victorian visual memory and the 'departed' child," _The Archivist/L'archiviste_ No. 115 (1997): 22-31. Hope that is of interest.
