Meh. Whats wrong with the old style of someone blowing up your asshole, thats what I want to know. Bloody kids these days
 
its fake.

the text font is too added in looking. Similar to those cardboard signs people love to edit the text of.

besides: her name is Mrs F. A. Tasse. Mrs FAT ass?

its so obvious.
 
Total bullshit like DeadWood on HBO. People didn't talk that way back then in fact some of those words did not exist.
 
Fake as hell.

Artificial aging is obvious from the mechanical uniformity of the tear marks.

Discoloration is entirely patterned and grained without a typical repreive of sorts at the spine.

The aging of the language is off for the era.

The ink of the pressed words did not wear in the same fashion as the paper (degradation would be much more pronounced).

Even with the printing presses of the time "print on demand" was not a large concern for publishers, so a small (adult and therefore hard to source to any large companies) custom printing such as this would not exhibit the uniformity of text, especially with the margin similarity of two pages.

Also the artificating of the corner objects is the last huge gaping give away I can identify so far.

you know all that just by looking at a .jpg? damn pawn stars should hire you as a expert in old documents.
 
i dunno if its fake, the paper looks nicely aged and worn. will have to wait until snopes or somebody with access to it can authenticate it. either way its pretty interesting.

Right...cause there's no such thing as photoshop 😛
