A Vintage Hottie Captured by Multigraph
The first
published account of the multigraph was in a 1893 issue of an American journal called
The Popular Science News. The journal describes a “curious application to photography” made by “a photographer of Atlantic City, N.J., Mr.
Shaw, who
produces a photograph at a single exposure which gives five different images of the same
person in
different positions. This is accomplished
by placing the sitter between two mirrors placed at an
angle of 45 degrees to each other. The double
reflection between these mirrors produces four
images of the person placed in front of them, the
principle being the same as that of the ordinary
kaleidoscope.” It then says that “the result is curious and
interesting, and, it has been suggested,
would be useful
in identifying criminals.”
