1914 William Howard Taft on a Carabao HOAX.
On the infamous 1914 Philippine history photograph of William Howard Taft astride a carabao...two things to know about this photograph are that a) That’s a Tamaraw, not a carabao and b) It is a hoax. Taft was never photographed on a carabao.
Here’s the original picture with Taft actually on a horse...
William Howard Taft was the first civilian governor of the Philippines. Later he became the 27th President of the United States and the tenth Chief Justice of the United States – the only person ever to hold both positions.
Yes, it is a fraud of a type as common then as Photoshopping is today.
