Picknett, Lynn2012
Books
In 1988, carbon dating of the world's most famous Christian relic revealed that it was a medieval or Renaissance forgery. Yet many questions remained. How could a hoaxer of 500 or more years ago have created an image that appears so astonishingly lifelike when seen in photographic negative? This book explores this question and much more.
