Who is this man? |
Most folks were satisfied with just a few. It wasn't the most convenient thing, after all. Some people though caught the selfie fever, including the strain popular in our time of taking the same photo of yourself repeatedly over time so you can watch yourself get old.
Recently, a treasure trove of mysterious, ancient selfies were unearthed in an antique shop and are currently on display at Rutgers University. 450 of them, and all lovingly framed. Historians are digging into them because no one has any idea who this man was or why he was so persistent. Did he mean to leave them behind as a small legacy of his existence? Or was he just OCD? It's an enigma.
Look closely -- is this your Grandpa? If so, give the Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers a call.
