I am trying to locate information on an early method of getting a
three dimensional look to an artwork by adding clear pieces of material
to the back side of a piece of glass then covering the back with a
reflective material such as gold or silver leaf.

    This method caused the reflective material to be at different
depths away from the viewer and gave the impression of depth in the
art work.

    If anyone has any information on such art works, or can point me in
the direction of a possible source, I would appreciate it.
