Photoshopping hadn't been invented in 1924, and doctoring photos has 
come a very long way since then. Consider this one, from the same 
decade, where the fakery is embarrassingly obvious:

Notice that although the two men appear to be sitting on the same 
bench, the bits they're sitting on are completely different. As Thomas 
Heger appears to be confused about it, I should point out that the chap 
on the right is Stalin, not Mao Tse Tung.
