Toronto Ghost Caption William James

Make a funny with an archival photo

The City of Toronto Archives are a gold mine of fascinating snapshots from our city's past and thanks to theonline search facility很多的图片很容易访问。一个有趣的巧合the system is the website's tendency to include anomalous pictures with no apparent connection to one's search terms among the results.

This light-hearted double-exposure trick taken byWilliam Jamesturned up out of thin air last week during one of my searches last week. Unleash your trenchant wit in the comment section below to earn the respect of your peers and liven up this quiet Sunday afternoon. Or just marvel at what passed for Photoshop-style trickery back in the day.
