Remember too that there was a tradition of photo
humbuggery established before the days of yellow
journalism. There were pictures haunted with ghosts &
people posed with props or dressed up in strangers
clothes, for effect.  

Exposure times were long and the gear cumbersome --
none of this zippy whiz-bang digital ease, eh ;-) 

So they made sure the picture looked "right," even
though it was "wrong." Plus ça change...
