Victorian Battlefield Photography

Liz, thanks for the link, it reminds me of the series of photographs taken after the Battle of Gettysburg in early July 1863.

One particularly photogenic corpse was used in a handful of locations. Twentieth century archivists noticed and documented that fact despite not having time stamps which make detective work just that little bit easier these days.
