EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the late 19th century showcases a fascinating optical illusion known as the "Irradiation Illusion of Visual Perception". The image depicts a series of squares, both light and dark, arranged in a mesmerizing pattern. What makes this illusion intriguing is that despite being identical in size, the light areas appear significantly larger than their dark counterparts. The phenomenon occurs due to the way our eyes perceive and process visual information. When we stare at this particular image, it triggers a scattering of light inside our eyes, causing an enlargement effect on the retina's image of the lighter areas. This deceptive impression creates an intriguing contrast between black and white squares. Published in The Strand Magazine back in 1897, this photograph not only serves as a testament to human curiosity but also highlights how even centuries ago people were captivated by optical illusions and their ability to deceive our perception. Ken Welsh's skillful capture allows us to appreciate the intricacies of visual deception while reminding us that what we see may not always be what it seems. As we gaze upon this timeless piece of artistry, let us marvel at how our own minds can play tricks on us through simple yet profound illusions like irradiation.
