You can find the original photo there and then see how someone photoshopped to cut out the words in the ad. The crease down the middle was because it was probably scanned from a magazine and that is why it is perfectly in the center because the ad was a full page spread.
This illustrates how powerful and deceptive photography can be in this day and age. Pretty scary really that people are calling this a historic picture and it was thought up by an ad agency lol.

Look at the 27th photo on the link, thanks Andrew. : )
Has anyone else been following The Lively Morgue? The NY Times is blogging about photos from it's archives. I love to see the history and the art!
