1 This looks like a side view of King George V.
2 Here we have a typical double with overlay. Look above the figure '2' and you can see one whole face frowning. Take another look and focussing on the eye to the right of the picture see it now as the side of a man's face with a very prominent nose. Blink your eyes, and now that same eye forms the mouth of a somewhat grotesque elongated visage.
3 To the right of the figure '3' you should see a side view of an oriental gentleman wearing a trilby hat.
4 Above we have what seems to be a canine face with almost human eyes. Yet the nose is long and ends with a typical black doggy nostrils. It seems to be muzzled.
5 The face to the right of the number is very hazy and you need to gaze at it for a while before it registers. Below this face and stretching in a south-easterly direction then veering eastwards, there is a group of some nine or ten faces. Some of these overlap, so you will really need to study them, to sense their features.
6 Left of the figure 6, and here we have an excellent illusion. It really depends on how you focus your eyes, as to what you may see. You may see a side view of a man resembling Peter Lawford looking to the left, with perhaps another tiny face behind him, and a miniscule face obscuring the ear. Or you may pick up the Greek God Pan with eyes closed, deep in thought.
7 Below the figure we have a rather dark image of a Victorian/Edwardian gentleman moustachioed and bearded, with a quiff of hair, yet receding hair line on one side. Perhaps another manifestation of George V? Below him is the very small face of a young lady of the Twenties. Her hair and eyes are well defined, but mouth and neck are faintly outlined in the white light of this part of the picture.
8 On the right of the figure 8, there is a monocled man, with a plumpish face stretching his chin upwards.
9 Above the figure 9, there is a small smiling face wearing a white wig which covers the ears. Now look more to the right of the 9, and it turns into a woman's face looking rather sad.
10 Above the 10 there is another line of faces, stretching across to the figure 4. Gaze at the two above the ten for a while, and you should see some other faces, sometimes small, and almost hidden in the darker patch. Immediately to the right of the 10, there is a very dark face, and above it, two more. Below the 10, you will find a puckish face with fringed whiskers and smile.
11 We have a small face to the left of the figure, with a larger grotesque one above it. Below these two there is a side view of an aboriginal face. But look again, and there are smaller faces within it. This face can be seen time and time again, in various cloud displays. Next time you are outside when there are cumulous clouds against a blue horizon, see if you can find it.
12 Here we have a Dickensian face, above the figure 12, and it looks as if he is wearing a clerical collar as worn by Ministers in Georgian days. To his left you'll find a man with a big broad smile, yet look again, and in the whiter part, you'll see another gent with mutton chops and beard.
13 You shouldn't have any difficulty picking out the face to the right of the figure 13.
14 There is a whole group of faces in this corner, both in the grey part, and dimly seen in the blacker portion below.
15 You will need to stare hard in the lighter grey section below the 15, to pick these faces out. But I assure you, that there are several, some overlaid. The easiest to find is the long one, stretching down in the lighter patch, between the darker clouds.
