Richard Avedon photograph of
The Capuchin Catacombs of Palermo, a monastery famous for mummifying the deceased when they ran out of room in the crypt. Up until the 1920s, it was considered a status symbol to be embalmed by the monks and displayed in a glass case in one's finest garments, with some clients requesting and paying for a periodic post-mortem change of clothes. Harper's Bazaar 1961. Creepy!
