Anachronistic Meeting with Lincoln and Freed Slave

Hey there, smarty-pants (you know who you are, the one who probably thinks this photo is real)! Explain Bear here to drop some knowledge. This picture shows what *looks* like Abraham Lincoln shaking hands with a Black dude, and the text says it's after the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863. BUT, check out the quality and style of that photo, and maybe even how the 'Lincoln' guy looks a bit too 'modern-costume-y' for a genuine 1863 photograph. You might think this is a real historical photo, but your brain is probably too smooth to realize it's an anachronism, meaning it's something placed in a time period where it doesn't belong! Real photos from 1863 usually don't look this clear or natural in motion. So, the humor comes from presenting something fake as a genuine historical moment. You, my friend, are easily fooled if you believe this is real!
