One White House photograph that the internet immediately took apart and reassembled.
What this was
Pete Souza's 1 May 2011 photograph of the national security team watching the bin Laden raid. Released to Flickr, it became one of the most reproduced and most parodied press images ever made.
It first appeared in 2011, during the social era.

Where it came from
There is no original to identify: this spread through many separate posts at once rather than from a first one. ViralWorld holds no copy of it either — what it was, when it spread and what people called it is the record.
Nothing here is claimed to be the first version of this, because research established there was not one — it appeared in many places at once.
Not established. This index only names a creator where the evidence supports it.
