Title

Vue intérieure de la Morgue en 1855

Description

A glimpse of the Paris Morgue's interior. The left wall of the entrance hall consisted of a row of windows through which guests could see the "salle d'exposition" where cadavers were laid out on iron tables, their clothes hung from thick iron hooks over their heads. The use of these hooks is a reminder of the building's previous incarnation as a butcher's shop.
