I came across a story about how photographers in the 19th c. were very clever in maniplutaion of photographs, and gave these three images as examples. I have to admit that I had never thought about the possibility of such 'art' being used back then.
Photo # 1: A photo of President Lincoln's head was placed on the image of Southern politician John Calhoun to create the portrait on the left.
Photo # 2: The photograph of Ulysses S. Grant on the left is actually a composite of these three different photographs pieced together (Head, Background, rider and horse).
Photo # 3: General Francis P. Blair (on the far right end) was added to this Matthew Brady photograph at a later date.
Just thought I would share ...
