Claim One:
1. A method for the three dimensional reproduction of an image which comprises steps of: a. photographing the image at specified angles of rotation over 180.degree. in a fixed plane about a fixed axis, b. dividing the photographs thus obtained at the axis of rotation into two separate parts, c. affixing each part of the divided photograph to a wedge shaped carvable material such that the side of the photograph forming the axis of rotation is at the pointed edge of the wedge, the angle of the wedge being the same as the angle of rotation between photographs, the wedge being made of such material that the outline of the photographed image is visible therein, d. assembling each wedge into place so that the points of the wedges meet at a common axis of rotation and the divided photographs meet in a linear plane such that a 360.degree. representation in outline form of the image is presented in the assembled wedges, and e. carving each wedge along the outline of the photograph contained therein to obtain a three-dimensional reproduction of the image photographed.
