Very cool picture

[waterninja]

HI. I was watching Sherlock.."The Abominable Bride" last night and I noticed something peculiar about the picture of what looks like a skull on Sherlocks wall. I googled it and it turns out that this picture is considered to be the worlds most famous optical illusion. It is called "Vanity Is All" and was painted in 1892 by Charles Allen Gilbert when he was 18 yrs. old.
I don't have the computer skills to post it here, but it is well worth the time to google. One way or another I plan on owning a copy of this amassing picture. I'll put it besides the copy of Cramers portrait from "Seinfeld". Cheers.

COOL. I wonder if it was planned or just an awesome mistake.

Planned I believe, I also believe he was one of the first people to recommend that the military use bright colours and sharp lines to camouflage ships and planes.
