<P class=MsoNormal>Hello BCMAers,<BR><BR>A member of the public brought by an
artifact today that we need help putting a name to. It’s thin case with a metal
clasp. One half of the case holds a colour tinted glass plate negative and the
other holds a mirror. When light is shone on the glass plate negative it
reflects the image into the mirror, recreating the image but with a sense of
depth. (Images attached of the item open.)<BR><BR>It’d be great to put a name to
this artifact so we can search for other examples of it and put it into wider
context. We’ve never seen anything like it before.<BR><BR>Cheers,<o:p></o:p></P>
