0: 45-1: 37: I don't find them somber and creepy, In fact I find them quiet and peaceful. Like the nearby one on Mt. Vernon and Highland.
3: 23-4: 17: It's like they've said in the movie The Greatest Showman, If they're gonna laugh at you anyway, you might as well just get paid for it.
6: 25-7: 55: While Spiritualism is pure bullsht. Never play with a Ouija board, those things on the other hand are actually real. I should know me, my mother, and my aunt all had a level ten creepy experience.

Taking photos of the dead may seem rather grotesque, but it had a beautiful meaning. Not a lot of families had family photos and they wanted to remember their child or loved ones the way they were. I have some photos of my ancestors in such poses and I always wondered what they would've been as adults.
My only nit pick or curiosity abut them is how did the parents remain composed through that? My own mother would have gone to the deepest end of mentality.

The pictures you show for the Photographing the Dead segment are clearly pictures of living children.
Victorians did have photos made of deceased persons usually showing the departed in a coffin, or lying in a bier surrounded by candles or flowers. But it was very unusual to photograph cadavers in lifelike poses. I cant say no one ever did it, but the extent of it has been greatly exaggerated lately in popular culture.

Since only wealth could afford photos, paintings etc, we see how they spent their free time. Little children working in factories and chimneys did not go home to taxidermy pets. Working class women had almost no tree time, if she sat down she was probably knitting or mending at the same time. Victorian era is a time period, but this segment is telling about a class of society.

The micro-scopic slides were high tech. could it be that SCIENCE of germs was rearing it's head and becoming believable. thank-goodness

The seances interest me the most. My grandmother was a spiritualist and very likely her mother was too, given that her mother's (my grandmother's mother's) parents died when she was a child, in the late Victorian era.

My great grandmother rarely had 'free-time'. She would've wondered what that was. If she wasn't home-making, she was embroidering, and when she wasn't caring for children, she was making more of 'em.

Ok so if you haven't you should make a video about slavery because it was normalized in the Victorian era. Yes bhm might be over but it's still worth it talking about that history

Drifting gracefully
To and fro in the sea
A lovers locket Tangled up in me
Thrashed and beaten upon the shore
The secrets of the sea I shall keep no more.

H. G. Wells just barely qualifies as a Victorian writer. His first book was published in 1895, and his last in 1941. Queen Victoria died in January 1901.

So. y'all don't go to the cemetery to relax? Where I live it's normal. You go to sunbath, study, walk, take photos, relax by the water, nap, etc.

He would give her a red rose as a sign of affection, she would give him a yellow rose as a sign of friendship.

Diatom art is probably the coolest thing I've learned about recently.
And I LOVE Victorian flower messages and meanings.

We still have jewelry of dead people. Usually the cremated. Ashes are made into necklaces and earrings bracelets and rings.

Memento Mori may have been the only photograph taken of somebody in their lifetime. It was expensive and done as mementos.
