Lenticulars

Our lenticulars are now available in our Etsy shop.

Fun facts: the first commercial lenticulars were patented and marketed in 1906 as “Puzzle Post Cards” or “Photochange Post Cards.” Historically, lenticulars have also been known as "flickers," "winkies," "wiggle pictures," and "tilt cards." I like to refer to them as "real-life GIFS."

This one is called Pregnant Uterus.

Historical sources utilized:

Pregnant Uterus Lenticular was created using the following historical imagery:

Dissection of a pregnant uterus, showing the foetus at nine months, with the head positioned towards the vagina and the lower part of the placenta under the child's head, detached from the uterus. Copperplate engraving by P. Maleuve after I.V. Rymsdyk, 1774
