調布の武者小路実篤公園に行ってきました。
そこには旧武者小路邸が保存されているのですが、
普段は立ち入り禁止のサンルームを特別に見せてもらうことができました。
エアコンがちょっと興ざめな感じですが（笑）、
現代の建築基準にはいろいろそぐわないところもあるし、
当時そのまんまというわけにはいかないようです。
そもそも本当のオリジナル（調度品など）は現代美術館にあるそうですしね。

I'm just beginning to explore the differences between Canadian mourning attire, British mourning attire, and U.S. mourning attire. The Canadian attire can be very different and very interesting indeed. One would not expect neither a British nor American woman to wear that sort of hat, specifically. The more images I gather in evidence, the more I can try to build a refernce base for each nation and each decade.
I posted a post mortem daguerreotype of a baby with his father in the background. This is a photograph of the daguerreotype with the mat removed. Very little of the father's face can be seen but it is obvious to me that he is looking down on the baby and it adds another level of poignancy to me.
Carte de visite by unidentified photographer. A deceased child lay upon a bed located on the porch of a home. A bouquet of flowers has been placed in the little boy or girl's folded hands. He or she wears patent leather shoes. Barely visible in the background is porch railing, perhaps constructed of wrought iron. This photograph was likely taken in late spring, summer, or early fall, as leaves are visible on the blurred trees in the yard behind the porch.
This image may not be reproduced by any means without permission.
Carte de visite by an anonymous photographer. The chubby-cheeked infant pictured here, at rest upon a pillow and covered in an afghan blanket, appears to be fast asleep. However, the placement of the child, propped up on a chair, and the absence of a parent in the picture, is a strong indicator that this is a post-mortem portrait.
I encourage you to use this image for educational purposes only. However, please ask for permission.

I love the history of photography, so I decided to recreate a Victorian era baby photo with my child and I. In the late 1800's camera's took over 30 secs to take a picture if not more. In order for a baby or small child to stay still that long of a exposure time they had a few creative ways for children to stay still. Most photographers draped a blanket or fabric over the mom and she would hold on to her child. Creepy? Just a bit, but these are people's stories that were told in a photo. Creepy or not, If I had a ancestor in a photo like this I would cherish it.....(thats me under the sheet:)
*This is my own take on the rather chilling Victorian type of post mortem photography. The model is alive and well and can often be found potting tomato plants in our garden.
About Memento Mori Photography:
Before their burial, the deceased would be photographed in their best clothes and 'posing' (propped up) with their living relatives. In some instances, eyes were painted onto the closed eyelids of the deceased to make them appear alive. In Victorian times when photographs were rare, this might be the only photo the family had of their dearly departed.
Written on reverse: "Mrs. Phebe Gates Cable. Grandma Gates." Then lower in a different hand: "Mrs. Blakman" or "Blukman." "Photographed by Skinner, Oneida Street, Fulton, N.Y." To see a second image of Phebe found on Ancestry.com: www.flickr.com/photos/60861613@N00/5449409210/
Phebe Cable was born on July 31, 1808, probably in Schroeppel, Oswego Co., New York, to Nathaniel Cable (1783 – 1850) and his wife Patty Gray (1788 – 1874). She married the Englishman Philander Gates (b. 28 Dec. 1807) on Sept. 21, 1830. Their children were Mary Helen Gates (b. Nov 13, 1831); Martha Jane Gates (b. June 16, 1833 – 1866); Elizabeth Adelaide Gates (b. Nov. 28, 1837, Pompey Hill, Onondaga Co., NY); Presilla Ann Gates (b. 1839); and Nelson Gates (B. June 20, 1841 in Onandaga Co., NY).
Philander Gates died by 1850, because on the census conducted that year, she appears to be on her own in Schroeppel, Oswego Co., New York, with her daughters. On the 1860 census, living with her is 71-year-old Martha Cable, as well as a Mary and Ann Gates, both in their mid-20s. Phoebe is still there ten years later, in 1880, living with Mary Gates only. She is very well off, claiming real estate worth $10,000 and a personal estate of $1,000. Next door is the abode of Benjamin Cable and his wife Matilda. Their relation to Phoebe is unclear.
She died on April 8, 1880, in Schroeppel.
"E. J. Vanderbilt, Photographer & Miniature Painter, 12 James Street, a few doors from Mersey Tunnel Station & 67 Church Street, Liverpool, & 241 Grange Road, Birkenhead. Appointments may be made by post, wire, or telephone. Telephone No. 6427." (Wouldn't you love to ring that number today and have it connect through?) There is also a piece of tape on the front of the image that appears to read "Mrs. C. dress 1877." This is almost surely a copy of an earlier CDV or cabinet card, as telephones would not become widespread in England until the 1890s--a date that also accords with the rather over-the-top typeface and graphics on the reverse.

"Biffar's Photographic Gallery, 43 Fourth STreet, Bet. South 7th & South 8th Sts., Williamsburgh, N.Y."
"M. A. Fonda" written in pencil on front of CDV.
"Broadbent & Taylor, 914 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia. S. Broadbent, W. Curtis Taylor,"
This is a copy of an earlier photo--probably either an ambrotype or daguerreotype. Photographers Broadbent and Taylor, or whomever owed this image, seem have drawn strengthening lines around the woman's shoulders and head, as well as around her eyes and possibly lips. On the actual Cabinet card, these lines are not really noticeable, but when blown up, they become quite evident.
The sitter wears fashions that date the photograph to the 1850s. She wears a mourning brooch at her throat, its hair compartment and black enamel clearly visible.
"J. M. Blecker, Cor' Cen' Ave & 6 ST." Blecker operated out of a shop on the southwest corner of these Cincinnati, Ohio, streets. Whether they are siblings or married, this mourning couple are resigned to their loss, but their anger is apparent.
