Figure distorted or anamorphosis was a very popular toy in the nineteenth century. It is hidden figures that come to light when projected on a reflective surface with a cylinder, cone or pyramid. Although the term anamorphic is created during the seventeenth century, its effects are known since the fifteenth century, as Leonardo Da Vinci and described in his notes. The toy consists of 24 plates, of which about half anamorphic reflect their image through a cylinder, and the rest through a cone, viewed from its apex.
