This again will be understood by referring to the figure, in which A
represents the eyes of that part of the audience seated in the lower
portion or body of the hall, while B represents the eyes of those who
are seated in the boxes or gallery, thus showing the angle by which
the height of the glass is determined, as the angles of incidence
are always equal to the angles of reflection; and the same angles
of incidence are likewise equal to the corresponding angles of the
reflected figure.

This illusion was invented in 1863 by Prof. Pepper, by whom it was
patented, and for a long period it was exhibited at the Polytechnic in
London, in various forms and guises, and drew thousands from all parts
to see this wonderful exhibition. Although it cannot now be classed
as a “novelty,” yet it still creates a great sensation whenever and
wherever it is exhibited.
