Harry Truman's Baby Picture

Harry Truman's Baby Picture
A Vintage Photos Theme Park photo for the theme of defaced or altered—any photo that was found with the face scratched off, marked out, cut, etc. If you don't have a defaced photo in your collection, you can post any found photo that has been altered in some way, such as with writing, drawing, collage, etc.

I found this cabinet card at a local antique mall a while ago. The elaborate wicker chair was what first caught my eye, and I was somewhat disappointed when I realized that someone had pasted Harry Truman's head on the photo. But I ended up purchasing it anyway for the surreal—or maybe just silly—juxtaposition of presidential head and baby body.

For other altered photos, see Altered Victorian Cabinet Card Portrait with Painted Skull Mask, Harrisburg, Pa., and Does the Foreman Know about This?

Someone saw the nice fit between the baby’s confident pose and the president, and the absurdly grandiose wicker throne. They had a good eye.

Thanks, Deborah! It's too bad that Angelica left. She's on Instagram but I don't get over there too often.
