Norman Rockwell poses his hand for Murder in Mississippi,
March 1965 Reference photo by Louie Lamone (1918-2007) Polaroid photo
Blood-human blood, at Rockwell's insistence-was procured from a concealed source and applied to a shirt that represented the shirt Michael Schwerner was wearing when he was killed. Rockwell himself wore the shirt for the posing, probably not wanting to ask anyone else to wear it.
