This Month's Subject: Images from Sleeping Beauty II. Stanley B. Burns, MD. FROM THE MORBID ARCHIVES: Everyone has heard about the Sleeping Beauty Series from the Burns Archive Libraries.

ALL IMAGES ON THIS PAGE ARE FROM THE BOOK "SLEEPING BEAUTY II" Man lies next to deceased wife (below): The final moments in her son's life: Child propped on chair: Man in white gloves with elderly parents: More Victorian Memorial Photography (not from Sleeping Beauty books) HERE. Sleeping Beauty II: Grief, Bereavement and the Family in Memorial Photography HERE. Memorial photography was a method to deal with grief in Victorian times. People were not usually photographed in life, so their loved ones wanted a memorial: a last look. It was a way to honor and cherish their loved ones after death, to have a lasting memory. Death from disease was common. The proprietor and curator of the Burns Archive, a large collection of early medical and 19th-century documentary photography in New York, Stanley Burns and his daughter, Elizabeth, have produced a sumptuous volume of beautifully reproduced postmortem photographs, expanding on his 1991 volume, Sleeping Beauty: Memorial Photography in America. Photographs from 15 countries, ranging from the earliest daguerreotypes to present-day color snapshots, show that since the invention of photography survivors have sought to fix their memory of deceased loved ones. These disturbing and strangely beautiful images depict children and adults, famous people and those buried en masse, as well as advertising photographs for a mortuary, a World War I German grave marker, and an Afghan hound in its satin-lined casket. With essays and picture titles in both French and English, this book is comprehensive and unique. Highly recommended for photohistory collections and those dealing with anthropology, sociology, and the history of medicine.

Dr. Stanley B. Burns and the Burns Archive played a large role in the rediscovery of the normalcy of postmortem photography. In 1990, the landmark publication, Sleeping Beauty, Memorial in Photography in America, ushered in a new era of appreciation of the importance of these images. Postmortem photography is the taking of a photograph of a deceased loved one, and was a normal part of American and European culture in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It has nothing to do with images of violence, crime, or war. Death, and personally dealing with death, was prevalent throughout the entire world as epidemics would come quickly and kill quickly. Advances in medicine removed unexpected death from everyday life and professionals took over. Commissioned by grieving families, postmortem photographs not only helped in the grieving process, but often represented the only visual remembrance of the deceased and were among a family's most precious possessions.

Dr. Burns uses what might seem an obscure subject. to persuade the reader to reconsider matters of life and death in our own time." -New York Times Book Review.

Dr. Burns began collecting medical, historical, and memorial photography in 1975, and founded The Burns Archive in 1977. Since then, he’s authored dozens of award-winning photo-history books, and has curated and exhibited at dozens of major museums and galleries worldwide. A New York City ophthalmologist, Dr. Burns’ keen eye for iconic imagery has helped rewrite inaccuracies in medical history and played a large role in the rediscovery of postmortem photography and nineteenth century mourning practices. An accomplished surgeon, author, historian, curator, collector, professor, publisher, and archivist, Dr. Burns has been referred to as “the Johnny Appleseed of photography” in New York Magazine , as he’s actively shared his encyclopedic knowledge and expertise. Driven by a deep commitment to share his discoveries, Dr. Stanley B. Burns’ name has become synonymous with historic photography. His contributions to medical and photography history are recognized by his official appointments at several institutions, including The National Arts Club, The Bronx Museum of the Arts, The American College of Surgeons and especially by New York University: Langone Medical Center where he is Clinical Professor of Medicine and Psychiatry. Over the past 40 years, he has consulted and contributed to thousands of feature films, documentaries, television productions and publications. When not collecting, Dr. Burns spends his time consulting, lecturing, creating exhibits, and writing books on under-appreciated areas of history and photography. He has authored 43 photo-historical texts, over 1000 articles and served as editor of several medical journals. His 44th book, Stiffs, Skulls & Skeletons: Medical Photography and Symbolism was released in 2015. Recently, he has been advising productions on the accurate portrayal of the history of medicine. He was the on-set Medical, Historical, and Technical Consultant for the HBO-Cinemax series, THE KNICK, and was also Medical/Historical/Technical Advisor on the PBS/Ridley Scott series MERCY STREET. ELIZABETH A. BURNS. Elizabeth A. Burns is the Creative and Operations Director of The Burns Archive. She has co-authored various books, including Sleeping Beauty II: Grief, Bereavement & the Family , American and European Traditions , Geisha: A Photographic History, 1872-1912 , and the recently published Stiffs, Skulls, & Skeletons , as well as designing the medical series of books. Ms. Burns has curated and organized dozens of exhibitions, including those on criminology, spirit photography, early flight, Lewis Hine and the playground, African American history, and various medical topics. She has consulted on numerous documentaries, feature films and television productions. She is the photographic archivist and research consultant to HBO-Cinemax series, THE KNICK, and associate technical advisor to PBS’s MERCY STREET.
