MUSes,

I trying to find the name of a commercial folk art imaging technique. The ones I have seen are Mexican religious, but I assume they are produced by other cultures. Basically the object comprises a flat sheet (normally metal about 10 x 12 inches or thereabouts) that has an image reproduced on it. Attached to the front surface is a series of equally spaced (say 3/4 inch) vertical metal strips that stick out from the surface 3/4 inch. On each side of the strips is a section of a second (left side of the strips) and third (right side of strips) picture. So the object viewed straight on shows image #1, held at a 45 degree angle to the right shows image #2, and (obviously) held at a 45 degree angle to the left shows image #3. Since I don't know the name of this technique, I have been unable to Google it. Oh, yeah, right. I would appreciate knowing the 'official' name and a source or two to back it up. Thanks. Happy trails, David
