A careless look is sufficient to appear there is some kind of problem with this photograph. One side of the man's coat is darker than the other. A worn out line obviously keeps running between the two parts. The divider out of sight unexpectedly vanishes into a clear white space behind the standing man. A tyke lying on the ground is raising a starved arm. In the event that extended to its full length it would fall beneath his knees. His hardly obvious other hand and wrist appear to be very stout by correlation. The young man sitting to one side of the standing man is by all accounts grasping something in his grasp however it is difficult to tell what it may be. 

Doubts excited, the photo was taken to a photographic investigator. It took ten minutes to reason this is not a "photo" at everything except rather a photographic soup, made out of odds and ends taken from different photos. 

The examiner presumed that the man's correct arm does not have a place with the body. It has originated from elsewhere. His correct leg appears to have vanished out and out. The kid sitting on the ground on the man's privilege is not grasping anything by any means. The counterfeiter basically did not took enough care when cutting the paper around the fingers in the photo from which his figure was taken.

The man in the inscription clearly can't be a 'Turkish authority' as there was no Turkey at the time the photograph was evidently taken (i.e. amid or not long after the First World War). The photographic examiner called attention to the self-evident, that no Ottoman memur or government worker would be wearing an unfastened coat over a shirt with a neckline and tie. He would wear a collarless shirt secured to the neck. More likely than not (certainly for a photo) he would have a fez on his head, and it was not really likely that an Ottoman memur would posture for such a photo in any case. 

Oxford University Press was educated that the "photo" was a fabrication. Existing load of the book was annihilated yet the photo was held in another printing with the accompanying subtitle: 'This photo implies to be an Ottoman authority provoking starving Armenians with bread. It is a fake, joining components of (at least two) isolate photos: a show were one required of the promulgation stakes on both sides of the genocide issue with proof of numerous types controlled for latterday political purposes. The photo was likewise included when the book was initially distributed however then was accepted to be veritable. It had already been utilized as a part of Gérard Chaliand and Yves Ternon's Le Genocide des Arméniens (1980), which demonstrates that earlier utilize is not a viable alternative for thorough examination of a photo's provenance – and without clear provenance, for a minutely point by point examination of the photo itself. It is a wake up call for students of history, huge numbers of whom are better prepared in testing and utilizing composed sources than in assessing photographic proof. The distributers and creator are appreciative to have had the phony attracted to their consideration".
