Hand-Colored Photo of Zombie Crusader Knight Alonzo the Brave Interrupting the Wedding of Imogene and the Baron in a Church Setting (1860)

 

Hand-colored photo of undead Crusader knight Alonzo the Brave interrupting the wedding of Imogene and the Baron in a church setting, c. 1855-1860. A scene from the 1796 ballad Alonzo the Brave and Fair Imogene by Matthew Gregory Lewis. Taken by photographer Alfred Silvester and originally published as a stereoview. Alonzo is described as a skeletal figure in the ballad, but in this stereoview version, he might be better described as probably the earliest photographed depiction of a zombie.
