Date made: 1976
Materials: 360° integral stereogram (Multiplex); film

Three separate sheets of film that when adhered together form one continuous image (each sheet is a 120° hologram); film is placed in a special rotating structure. As structure rotates, viewer sees a seated woman on a cloud dressed as an angel, playing a harp; as the structure rotates, the entire scene seems to rotate 360°; at one point, 2 small clouds pass by in the background; rainbow-colored image.


Please note that due to the unique challenges of holography as a medium, high-resolution digital images are not available for most items in the holography collection. Please contact us for more information on reproducing images of holograms.
