The Winding Sheet
circa 1800: A family are horrified to observe a white sheet of wax winding from the candle, as an old lady lies dying in the next room. Superstition held this to be a portent of death, as it represented the winding sheet in which corpses were wrapped. Original Artwork: Lithograph by John Baker. (Photo by Hulton Archive/Getty Images)
