We believe that the photo above conclusively establishes the existence of time travel. It appeared a hundred years ago this month in the July 1921 issue of Talking Machine World as an ad for Gennett Records from the Starr Piano Company of Richmond, Indiana.
The girl looks familiar, but you can’t quite place where you saw her. We’re here to help you out. She is Zoë Roth, “Disaster Girl” of internet meme fame. The photo at left was taken in 2004, but she’s obviously the same girl in the picture above, taken 83 years earlier.
Fortunately, we’ve previously given advice to prepare for inadvertent time travel.
I am familiar with the Starr Piano Company. In the late 60s, my parents bought an old Starr Piano for my sister from George Peppard’s mother for $10. Mom and Dad got it repaired and my sister still has the piano.
