Q187: Twin plates

Hi all,

There are two half-page plates in which the composition similarity is an amazing feature. Where are they? Name of the book(s) and pages are required.

in which the composition similarity is an amazing feature

Sorry, I'm such an idiot, but did you mean that the compositions are similar? :)

If so, you might get plenty of answers.

Hi tuhatkauno,

Exactly! The composition of the two plates/frames is similar and symmetric. But this occurs just with two HALF-PAGE plates. There aren't too many half-page plates, do you agree?

There aren't too many half-page plates, do you agree?

I think there are. But that's OK

I give you one example
Ottokar, 59
Crystal balls, 49

Well done, tuhatkauno,
When I posted the question I had not realized the plates you've given as example. But you are right and have solved immediatly. To be precise: you get the point!!! I think it's a fair decision.

Whoops, were those the frames you were looking for? I just had a trial shoot. I took the Balls and China, and then tried to remember where I've seen similar frames. But I was surprised how many half-page plates there were. That's why I said you may get many answers.

Are you still waiting for the right one (I mean the right answer)or extra answers?

After your answer, I looked for similarities between another plates. But it was an unsuccessful effort. Apart the frames I was looking for (Crystall Balls, 16 and Prisoners, 47) I found only the plates you discovered. Even if there's another pair, you were the first to give a correct answer. So, I think you deserve the point and the turn.
