Looks photoshopped. You can tell by the pixels.

What do you mean headless? The head is right there in the middle of the picture.

The inspiration for Terry Gilliam 75 years later with Monty Python.

Well, she certainly isn't running for president. Her hair is a mess!

If you like your head you can keep your head.

Also on the Retronaut site was a collection of mugshots of women arrested for prostitution in Montreal in the '40s. A really, really fugly collection of mugshots. I was chatting with a friend about them, and my theory was that since there was a war on, perhaps all the pretty hookers had gone to the front. In any case, apparently those Frenchies up in Quebec weren't very choosy.
