In order to show off the impressive 13MP forward-facing camera on the HTC Desire Eye, this fun series of "historical selfies" was staged, featuring characters like Marie Antoinette, Cleopatra, Julius Caesar and Emperor Hadrian.
Since there are tons of influential figures now snapping their own selfies, this series from HTC offers a fun way to look back into the past. If you ever wondered what kind of events or objects these historical figures might have deemed worthy of taking a picture of, this photo series makes it pretty clear. Marie Antoinette is of course pictured with a piece of cake, Sir Walter Raleigh shows off a love of baked potatoes and the legendary Cleopatra is imagined like a beauty blogger taking a selfie during a luxurious bubble bath.
