    The Uncanny Tale of Shimmel Zohar

    Too interesting to skim over, and wonderful, strange photographs from that era: https://apple.news/AA9k1Y2jFTKKJ8A4SiLdJ0w

    Great story!

    As I was already listening to Old Time Radio I emulated visually

    My Dundrearies are well on their way, the tale seems familiar somehow, but I forget more than I know

    I read the story in The Atlantic. https://www.theatlantic.com/culture/...-zohar/616060/

    The pictures aren't from the 19th century, they were shot during the last 20 years by Stephen Berkman. They're a hoax and they got the first two posters.

    These days, hoax is a word used by half-wits trying to distract from their more serious inadequacies and failings. I certainly don't include you in that category, Dan.
    I should have qualified that sentence to read: "in the style of that era".

    Ari, you're not the hoaxer. Mr. Berkman is.
