Except when I type in "flag draped coffins" (not mentioning Iraq) my image shows up nowhere, at least down 50 pages or so which was as far as I looked. <br /><br />I'll test your theory in the future, however.

It succeeds on so many levels, not the least of which is the great tradition of mourning quilts, especially that famous one with the coffins.<br /><br />But I've been thinking about death images. Seems to me late 20th and 21st society has death all over popular culture and it is not considered that shocking. What about those violent video games and movies that seem like second nature to so many? Death and dead bodies seem to be taken so casually in those venues.<br /><br />Judy Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00619951031502775381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-56815677816063975372013-02-01T06:38:20.453-05:002013-02-01T06:38:20.453-05:00We were recently watching a marathon on Death mask...We were recently watching a marathon on Death masks of famous people. Creepily interesting! Still it made me wonder if the popularity of making the masks were made for historical value, art value, the shock value or a bit of all threeNina Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14316034317827146338noreply@blogger.com
