The old one is dead btw.
Really morbid to take pictures of a kid messing around with a dead body
Except it's not a kid messing with a dead body, the Victorians were morbid, not deranged.
I don't know why the person you responded to claimed it was...
This actually was a thing that happened sometimes (trigger warning - dead bodies) but assuming that there's a corpse in every Victorian portrait is not reasonable.
