Book Of The Dead

[londondave]

In the film The Others with Nicole Kidman, there is a scene of her looking through a photo album of dead people made to like they are sleeping. Before I saw the scene I cam across a web site with such photos taken in the late 1800s.

Anyone know where I can view them?
