To appear headless while taking a photo, known as "horsemaning", was a popular way to pose in the 1920's.

Horsemaning, also known as "headless posing," is a photographic technique where the subject creates the illusion of being beheaded, with their head placed on the ground or another surface. This unique form of posing gained popularity during the 1920s and was considered a photography trend at the time.

To achieve the desired effect, two individuals are required for this pose. One person positions themselves with their head hidden or tilted backward, while the other conceals their body, revealing only their head in the photograph. The term "Horsemaning" originated from the Headless Horseman, a malevolent character depicted in Washington Irving's 1820 short story titled "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow."

In 2011, Horsemaning experienced a resurgence on Facebook, and numerous photos attempting to recreate the original trend started circulating on platforms like Buzzfeed. This revitalization brought renewed attention to the peculiar and imaginative art of Horsemaning.
