You say “definitely not” so surely. It may not be, but if you’re going to disprove a claim you should probably provide something to back it up, especially if the claim itself has no proof. It’s easy to read your comment and believe you, but it’s just as easy to read the post and believe it.
That doesn't mean they aren't cool pictures or interesting in their own right, but don't believe any title you see on a reddit post.
Edit: And this is not to pick on reddit in particular. Even historians make these mistakes. Here's a time I found a respected historian making published (but incorrect) claim of the date people started using Christmas cards because the highly respected newspaper archive he was using for research had mis-dated the scanned pages of a newspaper under '1800s' instead of '1900s': https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/k6inyt/ive_a...
