15 Historical Photos You Believe But They’re Fakes

There’s a reason old photos fascinate us — they let us see and understand that the life we’re used to now was once completely different and almost unimaginable for us today. Like a time machine, historical photographs transport us through the decades and plunge us into the atmosphere of bygone days. But are all of those photos real?
Today it’s rather difficult to tell a real photo from a fake one on the Internet. Mass media also usually misleads us. It happens since it’s really challenging to understand whether a picture has been Photoshopped or not. But these photo-editing gurus appeared even before Photoshop was invented and could change photos the way they wanted. In some cases, they didn’t even have to use any photo correction tools, they only had to start a rumor.

SUMMARY:
- In one of the photos, the scientist is riding a bike near a house; in the other picture, there’s a series of 4 nuclear tests at the USA’s Nevada Test Site in 1962.
- Hitler saw the picture and denied being that terrifying-looking child. He ordered his real baby pictures to be published instead.
- The image was taken in 1937, and shorts weren’t common just then, but they were certainly around.
- As for the guy mistaken for Hendrix, he was a trumpet player called Glen Dacosta from the Jamaican band Zap Pow.
- The image claims to show General Ulysses S. Grant on horseback in front of his troops during the American Civil War. But this picture is a fake. It was made from 3 different images.
- The first ambulance as a specialized vehicle was designed by French doctor Dominique Jean Larrey. In 1792, he decided to reorganize the process of rescuing wounded soldiers.
- We all recognize this famous portrait of Abraham Lincoln standing near a table. But there’s only 1/8 of Lincoln in this image.
- This image was considered to be Paganini’s true daguerreotype. As it turned out years later, there are no actual daguerreotypes of the most celebrated violinist — none known to the general public, at least.
- The picture, credited to the Associated Press by mistake, went viral in 2004 during the presidential election campaign. But it was 2 images skillfully combined.
- In the photo, one of the soldiers had a wristwatch on each arm, indicating that he’d probably been looting. One watch was removed, and it could have saved the soldier’s life. Looters were punished with execution in Stalin’s times.
- All he did was jump from his chair into the air and pretend to have levitated. He explained that it was the spirits that had lifted him.
- Many people think that these pictures of Marilyn Monroe and John Kennedy’s affair are real. In fact, these are staged photos by Alison Jackson, who is famous for her bold pictures of celebrity doppelgangers.
