On the left, is the controversial photo of Lee Harvey Oswald holding the assassination rifle found at his home. The difference of a 90-degree vertical nose shadow and a 120-degree body shadow shown in the photo questioned the authenticity of the photograph. On the right is a recreation of the photo taken by Lawrence Schiller. Schiller’s Polaroid photograph confirmed the validity of the original Oswald photograph.
