Slat pattern

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A lamella image is a pictorial representation that shows a different image from a total of three images depending on the viewing angle. Other names are "Harpbild" or "Triscenorama" .

A lamella image consists of the main image that is applied directly to the image carrier. Two further pictures are painted in strips on the slats. These are attached vertically to the main picture. Depending on where you stand in front of the picture, the viewer sees a different picture.
If only two motifs are visible from a different point of view in the picture, one speaks of a " corrugated image " or "ripple image ".

Lamella pictures first appeared in the 18th century and more frequently in the 19th century. They often show religious motifs, such as Jesus, Mary and Joseph or the Holy Trinity.

There are various instructions and aids for creating slat images on the web.
