The earliest example of seeing two different images in the same picture comes from 1580. Referred to as double portrait or turning picture, references could be found in the works of Shakespeare and other literature of the time. Triple portraits known as Trisceneoramas were common at the end of the 19th century.
In 1906 Hiram C.J. Deeks was granted US patent 834,048 for a "Material for printing multiple photographs" which involved precise placement of photographic paper on corrugated cardboard and exposing two different images from two different angles.

What started out as a one off exercise in minimalism, to not clutter a desk with three different photo frames, has turned into a seven year journey of research and development with plenty of moments of frustration, "a ha!" and abandonment thrown into the mix.
Through the use of 21st century techonology, we are excited to be able to offer this modern take on the turning picture to those who look for or enjoy something that is a little bit unique. All frames are meticulously made by hand using photographs that you provide.
