My understanding is that this image was done with paper figures on sticks. They are rather famous. Double images can certainly be made with wetplate or dryplate photography and I have seen some "ghost "images that were done that way. A double exposure will usually leave a ghostly image though, that is somewhat transparent.

Double exposure. though the second exposure does not appear real solid. not sure if this is a good example, might be figs on a stick. http://tinyurl.com/2o6b8r -----Original Message----- Does anybody know if photographers back then could superimpose such things?
