One of the most famous photographs, which I consider proof of the existence of time travelers, is a photo of the re (the previous swept away in flood) the opening of the bridge in British Columbia (Canada), made in 1941.
Among the crowd present at the official ceremony, one reporter. This high dark-haired man in strange glasses, clothing print the letter "W" and a compact camera. This image looks modern, especially given the clothes the rest of the people shown in the picture. It is believed that these items of clothing came much later, so clearly give the man the time traveler who decided to visit Canada on this memorable day.
Of course, this theory is a lot of opponents who are trying to find a more realistic explanation for the appearance of a man in strange clothes on pictures from the past.
This photo was discussed in detail on various websites. Here we will gather basic information relating to this case.
The first thing that comes to mind is the montage. Many attribute the presence of a time traveler by the fact that the image of modern dressed men was mounted on an old photo. They are based on the fact that the proportion of men seem not realistic. However, the official version says that the photo is genuine and not subjected to revision and retouching.
Is it possible another explanation? Of course, Yes.
There are versions that explain the "modern" view of men that he just dresses weird. In any country, in any era there are people who dress unusually to others. It may be their personal style or a tribute to the subculture to which they belong. Such people often sew their own clothes, decorate it or alter.
The most plausible version described in the articles is that all these attributes that seem unusual, already existed at the time just were not so popular.
This version we will examine the essence more, stopping at every detail. So, let's check these things:
- glasses
- tank top/sweater with print
- the camera
Similar to welding glasses that cover not only the eyes front, but the space on the side. Like futuristic they didn't look, but this style appeared in the twenties of XX century.
In such glasses, for example, there was the actress Barbara Stanwyck in "Double indemnity" (1944):
Thus, such points could exist in 1941. What's next? T-shirt with a modern print.
It is believed that the prints on the shirts of steel to do considerably late forties, so this tank could not be contemporaries of the era. But it is not. T-shirts, which we now know them (ie without buttons) appeared in 1898. Began to produce them in the US for the Marines. In fashion they came after the second world war and, despite the fact that this was considered underwear, began to wear them as outerwear. In 1942, on the cover of Life magazine posted a picture of a soldier in a white t-shirt with prints that have become popular of this kind of clothing.
It turns out that t-shirts with prints in those years could exist, although not yet acquired the status of everyday street wear.
Researchers, to understand this picture, I think that the situation is even simpler. According to them, this is not a t-shirt, a sweatshirt (sweatshirt) with a stripe with the letter "W". It came from the fans and representatives of the Montreal professional hockey club "Montreal Maroons", which existed from 1924 to 1947.
Sweatshirts with these stripes still can be seen in museums.
The next item is a compact camera, which is the alleged time traveler held in his hands. It is believed that such cameras at that time could not exist. However, it does not. A compact portable camera was used rather extensively in those years. One of the first compact cameras is the Leica, which was presented at the Leipzig fair in 1925, However, she was not the first compact camera that used a film width of 35 mm. Its predecessors were camera Kodak Bantam, Krauss Eka, Minigraph, Tourist Multiple and Simplex, and the first 35 mm camera was manufactured in 1908 by the firm Lleo & Omens, but they are not widespread.
Experts have determined that the photo the prospective traveler keeps folding pocket Kodak available in the market since the twenties of the XX century.
Thus, all the details, eye-catching in appearance men and suggesting that it belongs to another time, it is quite normal for that era, when was this famous photograph. Apparently, the man just appreciate the convenience and mobility. But this photograph is not proof of the existence of time travel.
