The Hoax Photo Gallery

 
Quote: When Daguerre's discovery of the art of photography was announced to the world in 1839, many scientists, such as Dr. Bird of Philadelphia, found the concept so extraordinary that they insisted the announcement had to be a hoax. Photography was, of course, quite real, but it has proven to be a favorite tool of hoaxers since its invention. What follows are some notorious photographic fakes arranged in chronological order from the Civil War to the present.

This is pretty cool, scroll through and check out some hoaxes from way back in the day! This one came to me from my dear old Dad.
