Studio photo of Ronald George Payne in a baby carriage taken in 1916.

Baby carriages made more sense then. Nowadays, the baby faces forward & unless the top is exposed you can't see the baby.

That is usually the older baby strollers. But you can still get strollers where baby is facing whomever is pushing. So many options these days.

I had a stroller that had a handle that could go either front or back facing. Loved it.

I had a carriage like stroller that could face forward or backward while giving the option to sit up, recline, or lay down.

It was very common. When I saw that this baby us propped up, with mouth and eyes open, that was my first thought.

I agree. This is a postmortem photo. They are "lovely" in their own way, but also sad.

People actually did take postmortem (one word) photographs. Sad when people refuse to believe history.

Not to join in the argument and I'm new here, but the source indicates the baby is alive in the picture. I'm aware of the old fad of postmortem staging and photography, but aside from the period, what makes you think it's a postmortem photograph? Close detail of the face doesn't appear to give answers-- too blurry (for me anyway) and his eyes seem unfocused, but they do appear to be looking in a general direction with his head turned the same way--expected/normal in a live person but not in a dead, and he has his fists balled and his left arm flexed, which would point to him being alive. The source also shows an adult picture, reportedly the same person, posted by the same descendent.
Just genuinely curious on how both sides came to their conclusions.
