#21: A Secret Witness Testifies on a Court Case, Washington, 1952
We live in such an advanced period of time that it can be hard to imagine a time when things weren’t so easy. Whether it be how someone got to work or how they communicated with their friends and family on a regular basis, things were really different once upon a time. Things that seem obvious to us today might not have even existed yet…
This is an image of a man that needed to be in disguise whilst he testified as a witness in court in 1952. Whilst we understand why someone might need to testify in secret, surely there are other ways of going about it? We have a hard time believing everyone in the courtroom didn’t end up in a laughing fit at this man’s appearance. Surely everyone in the courtroom knows it wasn’t Halloween?
