HOAX PHOTO GALLERY an exhibit of doctored photos before there was photoshop is both interesting in a historical sense and as a showcse of techniques.
Here is one example:
Baby Adolf
The picture on the left was widely printed in newspapers throughout the 1930s. It was represented as being a snapshot of Adolf Hitler as a baby. Sometime in 1937 Mrs. Harriet Downs, of Westport, Conn., noticed the image in a magazine and recognized it as an altered baby photo of her own son, John May Warren. The original, unretouched picture is shown on the right. It is not known how the hoaxer obtained the original picture
