Through their purchases and campaign pledges, more than 11,000 backers became enrolled in a grand educational experiment: a course of weekly online lectures about historic imaging technologies and antique drawing tools, that were delivered through Kickstarters own publishing apparatus.Catherwood was inspired by the verbal accounts of newly discovered archeological sites but, trained as an architect, sought more detailed visual evidence of the intricate carvings and structures. This double reflection (once at Number 1, then again at Number 2) means your ghost image is both right-side up and correct left-right.
