The listing, Headless Housewife... Huh? Magnet has ended.
In the late 1800's, the art of photography began to take some creative (and creepy!) liberties to let off some steam about the often-stressful, sick, sorrowful severity of the era. This humor sky-intended husband-wife "headless" image is an example of the macabre manner of the time, the world's first attempt at Photoshopping and not too shabby given the subjects (alive... Or dead) had to pose for hours on end just to get the right exposure. Look it up... Victorian photography... Interesting history, albeit darkly disturbing!
