Clearly just a silly roommate selfie

A couple of roomies

No, that's Fig 15.

They live next door to the much more famous Getty Images.

Mama Fratelli?

What did I do to the big one

Noses are pretty similar. The big one has no discernible chest.

Kinda look like brother and sister tbh.

Did white people evolve lips in the last 100 years?

One, or both, of them may be a corpse. Photos were very expensive back then, and often only made after someone died.

In 1915? No.

Some of the lower quality black and white photos of the time. especially reprints like this, can obscure or erase facial details.

I guess it's good if a photo of one never appears with "fig. n" as a caption.

Nah, that means you've made it. What's a life without a little infamy?
