Negative Positive
Title: A Fraudulent What?
Review: Until photography was invented and a negative image of the shroud was first seen, (1898) nobody had any idea that such detail was present in the cloth. The positive image as had only been seen for so many centuries looked to be no more than a shadow of a man. So yes, the "medieval forger" was clever indeed. Apparently he didn't want his trick to be even played until 5 centuries after it was allegedly created. (He knew, no doubt that photography would inevitably be invented, clever fellow.) He was also very daring, putting the nail holes in the wrists, rather than the palm which had been the traditional location. And if it is, in fact, a fraud, then we should be able to crank out duplicates, hand over fist today, no? Then how come no one has remotely succeeded?
Is the review positive or negative?
