The Playful Eye is a virtual feast of games and visual tricks gathered from around the world

These vintage cards and old placards display optical illusions, visual witticisms, hidden images, rebuses, and artistic paradoxes from yesteryear. They were the equivalent of Gifs back then eye candy worth sharing. Here they are gathered in a oversized paperback for your entertainment and amazement.
