Carol, It certainly doesn't upset me. I have seen and dealt with far more distressing things. After all a body, or a photo of it is part of life.
To me it simply reinforces the inadvisability of juding one time frame by the ethics of another.

There must be a lot of interest in old pm photos, there are a suprising amount for sale on ebay & the prices of some are unbelievable.

There does seem to be a morbid fascination for this type of photo and they are much sought after.
