Committe of Revision? - This was the question some months ago, but at the Washington Convention, May 10, 1910, the only chairman to be seen was Joseph Price Remington.

Popular Mechanics Magazine 1928

"Five Photos in One Exposure
On the Atlantic City boardwalk a photographer makes use of a clever device for simultaneously producing five different views of the same subject on the same photo with only one exposure. The method is simple: Two large mirrors are placed together like the covers of a half-open book, with their reflecting surfaces facing each other. The angle formed by the mirrors is about 40°. A small triangular table is fitted into the space between the mirrors, and the subject to be photographed sits at the table facing the mirrors, which produces four reflections at a point a few feet behind the subject.
Bennie Agron, Atlantic City, N. J." In: Popular Mechanics Magazine, Vol. 50, December 1928, No. 6, P. 1031

Marco, an antique collector, bought this postcard in an antique shop in his hometown in Mexico just being fascinated by the image. Searching for more information he found this Blog and without being asked he donated the images to this Blog to share them with others with the same interest. That's what this Blog is all about. I hope many others will follow. Thank you, Marco.
