The History of Image Manipulation
This is an image of Queen Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon and the Canadian Prime minister of 1939. However the photo on the right had been doctored. King George VI has been removed from it as the prime minister wanted to use the photo of himself and the queen for his election campaign as he thought it painted him in a better light. The image would not have had the same impact as it had if it had not been doctored. In my opinion the way the image had been doctored was quite simple. I think they would have taken another photo of the place where the original had been taken however this one would be without any people in it. They would then layer the two images negatives together replacing the King with the blank space.
The way images get manipulated has drastically since the first was first documented in 1860 with the iconic Abraham Lincoln portrait where the head of the president had been put on the body of John C Colhoun. This could have been done by piecing together the negatives of the photos in the darkroom. Another technique of image manipulation is by retouching the photo with either ink or paint. This would create patterns or effects directly to the images.
