The article explores the historical Mexican tradition of 'La muerte niña,' where post-mortem photographs of deceased infants and children were created during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This practice, rooted in colonial art traditions, served as a way for families to preserve memories amid high infant mortality rates.

The article highlights how these images reflect cultural beliefs about purity, divine intercession, and familial grief.
