Faking It: Manipulated Photography Before Photoshop

Before Photoshop (click here for more information), there were faked photographs.

"The Metropolitan Museum of Art is the first major exhibition devoted to the history of manipulated photography before the digital age. Featuring some 200 visually captivating photographs created between the 1840s and 1990s in the service of art, politics, news, entertainment, and commerce, the exhibition offers a provocative new perspective on the history of photography as it traces the medium’s complex and changing relationship to visual truth. "

Sponsored by Adobe, this should be interesting. There is a catalog for sale on the exhibition, at $60 a bit much for many but not bad compared to other photo books in publication.
