BTW, photos should never be altered. Cropped, sure, but never changed. I know of at least one instance in which a quote was revised. I think it was changed back, but I’m not sure. Anyway, it’s much like the Office of Revisionist History, or whatever it was in Brave New World (?) 1984 (?) well... you know. Changing history to meet the current trends. No wonder we’re all in trouble now.
Absolutely. My friend said the one she enjoyed the most was editing out Krushchev he was inconveniently placed in a group photo before they were ready to discuss him so out he went. She enjoyed the irony of editing out an old Sov. Mostly though it’s cigarettes and corporate logos that she gets rid of.
