Then & Now: Splendid Dylan, the Stones, Serge & Jane, Picasso, Jean-Paul Sartre comparison photos
The Rolling Stones in James Street, Covent Garden, 1964
We’ve all seen these these overlapping photos of the past merged with present day scenes but rarely are they done this well. Esquire’s fashion director Nick Sullivan creates these past and present images in his spare time with an eagle-eyed attention to detail. They’re really cool.
Now Sullivan doesn’t always make celebrity-themed photo mashups. I just picked the ones shown here as they’re easy to recognize as to who’s who and what’s what.
You can follow Sullivan on Instagram as that’s where the majority of these were originally posted.
