I stopped into the Cary Graphic Arts Library at RIT one afternoon and ran into David Pankow (Cary Curator emeritus) who was trying to figure out the origin or provenance of a book illustration that had no attribution. Amelia Hugill-Fontanel (current Cary assistant curator) suggested he perform a "reverse Google search," something neither he nor I had heard of. David made a cell-phone picture of the mystery illustration and dragged it into the Google® search field and the magic of the internet provided him with a reasonable answer.  I wondered, "What would happen if I performed a reverse Google search with an image of myself?"  This book is the answered to that question, revealing a rogue’s gallery of imperfect dobblegangers.
