Find the two figures in this picture
The oldest known form of this image is an 1888 German postcard. The organization behind it was “The Anchor Buggy Company.”
First, the company handed the postcards out with little warning of the hidden message. But the picture soon started raising eyebrows among the readers…
Can you see the two figures in this portrait?
The artist behind the illustration, William Ely Hill, a British cartoonist, published the image in Puck, an American humor magazine.
Months passed before the subscribers realized the cleverness of the picture, William continued his career as a cartoonist. But when the image gained some traction and the word spread, he quickly gained thousands of fans.
He called this illusion “My Wife and My Mother-in-Law,” and depicts a younger girl looking back and an older woman looking ahead.
This image was the first of its kind and withstood the test of time despite today’s fierce competition thanks to the internet. Millions of people, probably billions, have seen W. E. Hill’s illustration!
