Original anonymous vernacular photograph, ca. 1910, of an unidentified nurse who holds the wrist of a fully dressed skeleton seated in a chair outside an open window. The nurse looks down solemnly at a watch and appears to be taking the skeleton's pulse. Mounting remnants on verso, nicks and small creases, overall very good. A striking and macabre image.
