In the old time photographing was a complicated matter.
And expensyve too .
Not everything was left to nature.
After the taking of the picture on a glass plate the
size of the post cart (no enlargement) the negative
underwent a touch- up process (Retouchieren).
The touch- up man was an artist who could put glitter
to your eyes , straighten teeth, remove moles and
change your personality, shorten your nose and
remodel flaring ears.
For an extra he could remake yor hair-do .
And the result was astonishing.
