Optical Illusion, Rabbit Or Duck? 1892

Entitled: "Welche Thiere gleichen einander am meisten? "(Which animals are most like each other?), with "Kaninchen und Ente" (Rabbit and Duck) written underneath. The rabbit-duck illusion is an ambiguous image in which either a rabbit or a duck can be seen. The earliest known version is from a 1892 issue of Fliegende Blätter, a German magazine. An optical illusion is a phenomena where one seems to see something that doesn't exist or with another perspective. It is also called visual illusion and is categorized by visually apparent images. An optical illusion is basically a visually misleading image interpreted by the brain inaccurately. There are three main types: literal optical illusions that create images that are different from the objects that make them, physiological ones that are the effects on the eyes and brain of excessive stimulation of a specific type (brightness, color, size, position, tilt, movement), and cognitive illusions, the result of unconscious inferences.
