Secrets of Famous Photos
Just some background information on some of the worlds most famous photographs. It's amazing in a lot of these they even had photo manipulation tools at the times they were altered.

One of the most famous photograph of Abraham Lincoln in 1860. But only his head was real in the picture as the body belongs to someone called John Calhoun.

Re: Secrets of Famous Photos
See the difference between these 2 photos? The guy sitting on the right was General Francis Blair, who was apparently added only later (1865).

The guy on the left quarreled with Mao Ze Dong and his picture was removed (1936).

The guy missing seems to be called Goebbels in this photograph taken with Hitler. Reason is unknown (1937).

Re: Secrets of Famous Photos
The guy in the center is Carlos Franco, who apparently quarreled with Fidel Castro after Fidel supported the entry of Soviet troops in Czech Republic (1968). Thus he disappeared from the photo.

Re: Secrets of Famous Photos
This photographer, John Filo, won the Pulitzer Prize but was manipulated for the cover of the Life magazine to remove the rear fence. Don’t ask me why.

Re: Secrets of Famous Photos
This is a photograph of the negotiations between Chancellor Willy Brandt of Germany and Leonid Brezhnev.

Rumored has it that all of them were rather drunk during the meeting. You can see the disappearing wine bottles in the German press compared to the Soviet press on the top.

Re: Secrets of Famous Photos
The ‘gang of four’, a group of Chinese Communist Party leaders were sacked and arrested in 1976 after the death of Mao Zedong. Thus explains their disappearance from the photo.

Clement Harda was an illustrator for children's books. We can’t have this guy seen holding a cigarette in his hands can we?

Re: Secrets of Famous Photos
Can you recall the time when Oprah Winfrey had such a fabulous body? Me neither. Well, here in the TV guide of 1989, Oprah was fitted with the body of actress Ann Margaret and the best thing? None of them were informed about this until Ann heard it from her dress designer.
