Unconventional Staring
An anamorphosis is a deformed image that appears in its true shape when viewed in some “unconventional” way.
In past centuries, anamorphic designs were used as “secret images”, sometimes to hide erotic drawings, sometimes images of a politically-sensitive nature, such as this portrait of the British King Charles the First which circulated amongst Royalist sympathisers after the King’s execution in 1649.

I don’t see any damn erotic images in the above.
I can imagine museum goers bending sideways and upside-down trying to find the “hidden” images.
I don’t think you’re supposed to see any hidden erotic pictures in the image you’ve shown, Jody. This one’s “politically-sensitive.”
Someone help me out here.
Ohhhhh yeaaaaah *gets a napkin*
Wait, I was supposed to see something erotic?
Erotic drawings *OR* politically sensitive subjects. This one’s politically sensitive because it was for supporters of the executed king who couldn’t openly show support (I’m assuming, anyway). Imagine democrats in Texas carrying around hidden images of Kerry. There’s no hidden erotic message here!! Jody, Jody…I think when you see the word ‘erotic’ your reading comprehension nose-dives.
I’ve stared at this picture for almost 10 mins. The only thing that makes me change my perception is one side of his hair is longer than the other. I think I see a farm and some trees and some mountains.. Erotic farm, erotic trees and erotic mountains! woo-woo! SWT is THE crappy place to get PORN!
