Ann,
Yes there was superimposed photography at the time. I have seen photos of a
family in a graveyard with a ghost image of the deceased on them.

I agree that she looks very much alive. The pose for both of them looks
totally normal for the time period. I also agree that she is simply
looking
at something else than the groom. I do not think that he looks upset and
there really were a lot of mourning rituals back then. Her flowers do not
look any more real than his do. Does anybody know if photographers back
then could superimpose such things?
