The mystery of the work’s origin
Some claim the optical illusion was drawn in 1880 for Harper’s Illustrated , but if so, it raises another question: how can such contemporary figures be recognized? These suggestions seem unlikely , especially considering that some of the faces depicted are much later. The hypothesis of the work’s origins therefore remains a mystery… or rather, a game in which each observer tries to better understand the history of the illustration.
Who are these characters?
Some speculate that the ten hidden faces include historical figures as famous as former US President Abraham Lincoln , Soviet leader Joseph Stalin , and prominent figures from the worlds of politics and art. The most observant might even try to spot characters from films or literature… But again, no one is entirely sure who is hiding behind these barely visible features. If you manage to identify them all, you’re undoubtedly an expert in optical illusions!
An equally interesting version of Star Wars

As always, these optical illusions have a certain captivating charm. Every time you think you’ve found a face, another one emerges from the shadows, encouraging you to try even harder. And if you manage to identify all the hidden faces, be sure to share your findings with others—you’re likely not the only one captivated by this enigmatic creation!
