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. Now The Horror Zine lets you glimpse into Sleeping Beauty II, the second in a series of three books. 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.

Publisher: Twelvetrees Press, Altadena, California. Publication Date: 1990. Binding: Hardcover. Book Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Edition: 1st Edition. About this title. 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. Mourning periods were bas. "If you can peer in past the somberness, you'll summon up the warmth and intimacy of a lost emotional landscape, one that links up momentarily with those who have gone before." - John Updike in American Heritage Magazine. "Unlike anything I've seen before. succeeds in a way the few documentary books manage to do. 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] has researched the hell out of these photos, and his notes in Sleeping Beauty amount to nothing less than a furiously compressed history of death and dying in America. Stanley Burns' project is a thing of strange beauty, always thought provoking and eye opening, often startling, usually a revelation of some kind." - New York Press. "Almost every one of its stunning reproductions inspires shivers and achingly vivid pathos. " - The Voice Literary Supplement. "About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.

  • Narrating the Past to (Re)Build the Present of Metropolis: Miami and New York
    The Online Journal of Communication and Media – October 2017 Volume 3, Issue 4 NARRATING THE PAST TO (RE)BUILD THE PRESENT OF METROPOLIS: MIAMI AND NEW YORK Sheyla Moroni Dipartimento di Scienze Politiche e Sociali Università di Firenze [email protected] The analysis of the tax and communication system implemented in the last fifteen years by some administrations of the East coast of the USA (in particular New York and Miami) revealed the centrality of detaxation in favor of products that foresee the targeted use of some urban spaces as sets of TV series (including period dramas). This attempt seems to be in contrast with the natural Californian attractiveness towards TV-film productions (which represent the second industry of the Country), but it is also an investment to mitigate the fear perceived after the 2001 terrorist attacks and, in case of Florida, the fear that - once the "Cuban hazard” is eliminated – the Hispanic community would turn into a criminal and socially exclusion problem. Nonetheless, Florida has blocked this policy as urged by the Koch brothers, just a few months prior to presidential elections and hand-over of the country to the GOP. Therefore, this phase shows a strong contrast not only between globalized metropoles projected towards a transnational model (that was allowing them – before Trump – to govern themselves by referring to other megacities and not to the nationality of their citizens – such to be defined and named “sanctuary cities” – reserving the faculty not to indicate the names of illegal immigrants to authorities) and the declining idea of soft power, in American version (clearly in recession in 2013).

    J.T.H. Connor and Michael G. Rhode - Shoot Soldiers: Civil War Medical Images, Memory, and Identity in America Back to Issue 5 Shooting Soldiers: Civil War Medical Images, Memory, and Identity in America by J.T.H. Connor and Michael G. Rhode © 2003 There is on the wall, in the northwest corner of the room, a small gallery of watercolor paintings. Among these is one, the picture of a young man, a mere boy of eighteen or nineteen, resting on a couch... It is a beautiful face, almost perfect in its contour, with hazel eyes and long, wavy, brown hair; but there is such an expression in the eyes and features as tells oh, what a tale! of suffering, long and patiently borne. The left arm is placed under the head, while the fingers of the right clasp the palm-leaf fan with which [he] has been seeking to impart coolness to his fevered cheeks. That pale, youthful face, with the large brown eyes, sank deep into my memory; only one other face have I seen, a painting, also, that possessed for me the same fascinationthat of Guidos Beatrice Cenci.1 [Fig. 1] The unlikely location of Louis Baggers moving experience, recounted in 1873 in Appleton's Journal, was Washington, DCs Fords Theatre, the scene of Lincolns assassination in 1865. Two years later the theatre became home to the Army Medical Museum, where the public could view its array of human anatomical and pathological specimens preserved in glass jars and stored in wooden cases, along with its extensive collection of medical images.2 Founded in 1862 just after the onset of the Civil War, the Army Medical Museum would become the nations premier educational and research institution for the study of military medicine.

Arbus, who lived from 1923 to 1971, is considered by many to be one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century. Certainly, her pictures changed the face of American photography forever. What you are about to see is a tribute to Diane: a film that invents characters and situations that reach beyond reality to express what might have been Arbus’s inner experience on her extraordinary path. 2 CREDITS Filmmakers Directed by STEVEN SHAINBERG Written by ERIN CRESSIDA WILSON Inspired by the book “Diane Arbus: A Biography” by PATRICIA BOSWORTH Produced by WILLIAM POHLAD LAURA BICKFORD BONNIE TIMMERMANN ANDREW FIERBERG Executive Producers EDWARD R.
