EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Red-Faced, Awkward-Looking Young Chap Tells a Tall Tale of Romantic Encounter, 1910 This intriguing photograph captures the moment of disbelief as a confident young chap regales his friends with an extravagant and seemingly implausible tale of romantic encounter. Dressed in the fashionable attire of the early 20th century, the young man sits comfortably by the fireside, a monocle perched in his right eye, as he recounts his unlikely rendezvous with the goddess Bai Jove. With a smirk and a wave of his hand, he boasts, "And Bai Jove, she fell in love with me on the spot, don'cherknow." The other gentlemen in the room, clad in suits and ties, listen with a mixture of amusement and skepticism. One chap raises an eyebrow in disbelief, while another shakes his head in dismay, as if to say, "Oh, brother!" The scene is set in the cozy, intimate atmosphere of a well-lit parlor, with the warm glow of the fire casting long shadows on the round walls. This image, titled "Who Said Liar?" is a charming reminder of the power of storytelling and the human capacity for boasting and exaggeration. It also speaks to the enduring appeal of romantic tales, even when they are clearly tall ones. The photograph, taken in 1910, is a testament to the timeless nature of human nature and the art of the tall tale.
