Headless photographs from Victorian cut-ups

Lest we inaccurately dismiss the Victorians as naught but stuffy prudes, it behooves us to remember that whacked-out senses of humor are not a recent innovation. I’m used to seeing photography of this time period as a wall of stoney faces, but these headless jokers mug with the best of ’em! The photos were created using double-negatives, save for one which looks like a shitty X-Acto knife cut-and-paste–get it together, Thaddeus!
