Abstract
A method and apparatus for photographic recordation of multiple images having high information density is disclosed. A plurality of camera original photographs, of a first size and arrangement as a first group are mounted into receptacles in a copy frame and uniformly illuminated. The illuminated copy frame is located before a copy camera having independent lenses, for projecting independent, total images onto the image or film plane of the copy camera. A target area is located on the image or film plane. Each lens is adjusted to project a portion of its total image on the target area. The cumulative image on the target area comprises a selected portion of each independent total image, and each selected portion consists of an image of a different portion of the copy frame displaying independent images of the camera originals in a second size and arrangement as a second group distinct from the first group.
