Way before the fun days of Photoshop!
"Amateurs often obtain unexpected results from carelessness in exposing their plates. Some very amusing pictures can, however, be obtained by making two different exposures on one plate. The subjects should, of course, be of a very different nature. In making these it is necessary to give a very short exposure in each case, about one half the amount that would be ordinarily required. The negative must be carefully developed, using plenty of restrainer. Similar effects can, of course, be obtained by printing from two different negatives, but the results are, as a rule, inferior."

It's great to see old photographs resurrected and displayed. They don't last forever and if not cared for tend to fade away which is why making digital copies has the potential to protect them for future generation.
Thanks for the show.

Great stuff! I wonder how many people back then thought it was real? Lol.
