La photographie récréative et fantaisiste : recueil de divertissements, trucs, passe-temps photographiques
A French trick-photography manual, La photographie récréative et fantaisiste, compiled by C. Chaplot and published in Paris by C. Mendel in 1900 for amateur photographers seeking parlour games and optical tricks. The pictures are halftone reproductions of photographic experiments: repeated figures, a framed floral vignette, a row of heads, and a seated man beside his own disembodied head, showing how multiple exposure and composite printing create illusions a designer could borrow for surreal or playful layouts.
