随着摄影师越来越多,银版照相的费用也相应降低。19世纪50年代,银版照相采用了成本更低的拍摄用具,如使用薄金属、玻璃或纸来代替银板。
Death portraiture became increasingly popular. Victorian nurseries were plagued by measles, diphtheria, scarlet fever, rubella - all of which could be fatal.
后来,给死人照相日渐普遍。在维多利亚女王时代,多家幼儿园的小孩儿染上了麻疹、白喉、猩红热、风疹等致命疾病。
It was often the first time families thought of having a photograph taken - it was the last chance to have a permanent likeness of a beloved child.
那时,这往往是家人第一次想要给孩子照相,也是他们最后一次给心爱的孩子拍摄一张永久的照片。
But as healthcare improved the life expectancy of children, the demand for death photography diminished.
不过,后来,良好的医疗条件延长了孩子们的平均寿命,因此,给死人照相的需求有所减少。
The advent of snapshots sounded the death knell for the art - as most families would have photographs taken in life.
快照的面世等于给死亡摄影艺术敲响了丧钟,因为大多数家庭都可以在生活中拍摄很多照片。
Now, these images of men, women and children stoically containing their grief in order to preserve the likeness of a taken-too-soon loved one, continue to live up to their name.
