How sad, to be so young and not taste life ;- (

Wow! I would never thought I would see a dead baby in a casket displayed like that. I'm woundering what the purpose of this photograph is? And another thought, would we today ever let someone take a photo like this, outside a criminal investigation.

Keene Public Library and the Historical Society of Cheshire County said:
I debated about putting this photo up, but it is part of the photographer's work and there are other similar photos up on the Commons, so I went ahead with it. Apparently, it was quite common back in those days to take photos like this. Quite sad though.

Sad, yes. Death is also a part of life.
