Overview

Can the sun lie? asked a US court in 1886. This legal question arose when photographs or sun pictures as they were also called at the time first entered into juridical proceedings as a new form of evidence. Could chemistry and light manipulate the natural order of the things worried the court or were the realities depicted by photographs incontrovertible?
