Portrait of three grave diggers posing with a recently dug grave in a cemetery, location unknown, c. 1860s. Attributed to Mathew Brady. Note the blanket in the foreground used for collecting dirt from the grave as it is being dug. Also, a possible hearse is seen in the background at the top of the hill at left.
The place for the most fascinating photographs from history specializing in animating stereoscopic images.
