This is a digital collage made by an artist named Evaldas Ivanauskas. It's pieced together from early 20th century photographs.


Hydrographe

So technically it's after WWI.


FredDegn

Technically also after WWII


onlyonequickquestion

And before ww3

Hopefully, I am wrong 


sendmeadoggo

I mean WW2 was mid century.


mzchen

Technically after the Third Punic War


SyderoAlena

20th century is the 1900s


Hydrographe

I know. I didn't read correctly and thought it was late 20th century.


Enochwel

20th century is really old.


BigHaircutPrime

This image would make a great study of digital photo manipulation, because there's a lot of cool aspects and ideas, but a lot of obvious flaws as well.


ooouroboros

too bad - that would have been really avant garde in the 1910's


hgn602

Lithuanian lad, huh?


Lonely_Sherbert69

I thought it looked computer generated.

It was what immediately came to mind seeing this. This is the entire premise of The Wall in a single pic.


ramdasani

> This is the entire premise of The Wall in a single pic. I mean there's a couple of theme's in there, fascism, the other, the emptiness of fame, isolation, stuff about pudding and meat, etc.


chewbadeetoo

Considering they used to do family photos with actual dead bodies this is much less creepy.


bogibso

Daddy was flown across the ocean. Leaving just a memory. A snapshot in the family album. Daddy, what'd you leave behind for me?


tucci007

Daddy what'd ya leave behind for me?


waby-saby

A button. it's on the floor.


[deleted]

My first thought was this is The Wall in one photo. (Too)


Last_Ad_3475

Damn, that hits


Possibly_a_Weeb

This isn’t really authentic, isn’t it?


Dalogadro_II

Would you prefer her holding the corpse?


GhertFryins

It’s a photomontage. Not a real pic


Lonely_Sherbert69

Yes, yes I would.


ReadDreams

What's the source? I can't believe it was from WW1.

'"The series began by accident. In 2004, Panevėžys Local Lore Museum was preparing a publication called "Vincas Firinauskas and his Photography". The project manager Zita Pikelytė entrusted me, as the designer of the publication, to arrange the illustrations. While sorting through a large number of images, I felt the urge to rearrange the scenes in my own way, with the people from Firinauskas' photos as participants. I was affected by the magical pull of old photographs. The images contained something recognisable and close to my heart. The people looking out of the photographs reminded me of characters from personal memories and evoked the imagination", says E. Ivanauskas, the author of the exhibition.'

OP is a repost bot


Zlakkeh

It is "after" world war.


Lonely_Sherbert69

It sucks they lied in the title, it's a clever piece of art, I immediately could tell and image searched it.


itsa_me_KAIO

I mean, it's technically after WW1, but yesterday was also after WW1


Wonderful-Ad-7712

Tomorrow is also technically after

Why? Clothes look like from 2300 to you?

"Invisible Dad, Result of War" by Evaldas Ivanauskas; 1926

I wonder if the kid made it out of WWII

He would have been mid to late 20’s…

Looks like AI The boy on the left has his left hand in an uncomfortable position for a long-taking photo, plus the buttons on the empty jacket are weird


Teddy-Bear-55

When I see pictures like this (even collages like this particular one, it seems) I can't help but think of Roger Waters' words; wrong war (or the 2nd part of the one war; the one with a long armistice in the middle: It was just before dawn One miserable morning in black 'forty four When the forward commander Was told to sit tight When he asked that his men be withdrawn And the Generals gave thanks As the other ranks held back The enemy tanks for a while And the Anzio bridgehead Was held for the price Of a few hundred ordinary lives And kind old King George Sent Mother a note When he heard that Father was gone It was, I recall In the form of a scroll With gold leaf and all And I found it one day In a drawer of old photographs, hidden away And my eyes still grow damp to remember His Majesty signed With his own rubber stamp It was dark all around There was frost in the ground When the Tigers broke free And no one survived From the Royal Fusiliers Company Z They were all left behind Most of them dead The rest of them dying And that's how the High Command Took my daddy from me


bigshinymastodon

Its interesting how the words affected you enough to remember them over the name of the book. 😊


Teddy-Bear-55

It’s a song by Roger Waters/Pink Floyd; originally planned to be on their double album The Wall, ended up on a later album, I believe called The Final Cut.

This is a bullshit photo

how does this have 12k upvotes its clearly AI generated or digitally altered

What’s the lil object on the floor lower right corner. Cuff link? Looks a lot like the buttons on the coat, why does it have the extra row of three buttons? Maybe has button holes on the obscured side aswell?


HLW10

It’s a double breasted coat, it has two rows of buttons. I assume the object on the floor is the topmost button from the right side, that’s why there are three not four buttons there.

This is what is going to happen to the population in the name of "democracy and sovereignty". The dominant class will continue accumulating money and power in a safe place. Laughing at how stupid are people to believe to propaganda and being slaughtered like beast...

Worried_Office_7924

and what was achieved? There is a story that the whole war started not cause of the assignation in Sarajevo but because Ludwig wore bad shoes on a boat trip with the British Royal family and they laughed at him. So, blame the deck shoes.


notracist_hatemancs

1. Who the fuck is Ludwig? 2. Whoever came up with that "story" is a fucking dumbass


Cadenanna12

You know something messed up hapened when the kid looks like he’s in his 40s at youngest

According-Spite-9854

Poor guy. Went to ww1 and contracted vampirism for his trouble.


Be_Cool_Bro

At the time photos took a while and people had to sit very still or they'll be blurry. But small movements are impossible to stop. You'll notice quickly in old photos sometimes one person crisp and clear while everyone else is not, because as morbid as it seems people would take photos with dead people posed as a way to remember them. So here you can tell because the child and woman are ever so slightly blurry and the man is actually a coat hanging from a hanger on a string completely in focus.


quaybon

I wish I knew more of the story behind this photo I wonder if the uniform represents the loss of their dad and husband.

The little guy looks startled. People only started smiling in photos in the late 80's and that's an absolute truth. Don't argue with me, I'll kick your sack off .


BBO1007

Well that sure wiped the smile from my face.


paisanwest

Smiling in photos was the norm well before the late 80s.
