Heh. As the perfect illustration of how this sort of crap is indicative of humans’ ability to find faces in anything, I see a completely different face above and to the left of the one outlined in that link. Although I would have described the face I can see as more “spaniel” than “devil”.
Ooooh, wait - there are two faces. Is there no end to the diabolical talents of those evil but clever french artists?
I guess I’m not the only person who reads the Snopes updates. I couldn’t find a picture blown up big enough to see anything, anywhere on the internet. There seems to be only one scan of that image available and it’s small.
Here’s a slightly larger image, and a cutout of the “devil’s face”, if it helps.
I’m curious as to how anybody knows what the Devil looks like. As far as I know he looks like Robert DeNiro.
I see it really easily, actually. Horns and all. I should look for more faces in stuff and start selling them on eBay.
But just his head.
I don’t think it was intentionally drawn, but I did see the devil face as soon as I looked at the image.
I’ve sent a message via the Royal Website, including the snopes link and asking for comments. I’m not holding my breath for a reply though. The last question I asked, requesting tips on how to overthrow the monarchy, met with a storm of indifference.
I’d read about it somewhere long before I got the Snopes email – just thought, “Oh, yeah, the devil in the hair”, and moved on.

I see it quite easily and I believe it is intentional.
We’ll see what they have to say; I’m sure they’ve been asked this question before, even though it’s not about a recent event.
Well, I see it too, but I don’t see anything that could suggest that it is anything but an accident. And if this link (from the site I linked to earlier) shows the negatives from the original photo shoot, as it claims to, we see that the “devil’s face” is visible even there.
Holy cow! :eek: It’s much more visible that way to me. I see it very plainly in the negative.
