"Fake photography is nothing new. In the 1910s, British author Arthur Conan
Doyle was famously deceived by two school-aged sisters who had produced
photographs of elegant fairies cavorting in their garden.
Black and white image of a girl surrounded by paper cutouts of fairies

Today it is hard to believe these photos could have fooled anybody, but it was
not until the 1980s an expert named Geoffrey Crawley had the nerve to directly
apply his knowledge of film photography and deduce the obvious.

The photographs were fake, as later admitted by one of the sisters themselves."
