Back in the Dark Ages of 1990, art directors didn’t have Photoshop. If you wanted to retouch a photo, you had to send it out to a professional. This poster for a local retoucher required just the right image to showcase their technical capabilities. The solution? Prince Charles and the Princess of Wales. The couple may not have had a happy marriage, but in this instance, they were perfect together.
