I read a short story once, I think it was Asimov or Clarke's. In it they found a cave with loads of Mona Lisa pictures but all varying.

Then someone worked out what it was. It was an early movie thing. You know, you put the pictures in a wheel arrangement and then look at them through the gaps between the pictures as they span around and it became a moving picture.

The pictures that were loose were put into their proper places, the central lantern was lit and the wheel spun.

The Mona Lisa looked at the viewers, then winked, before sliding off her robe to flash her breast.

A great yarn.
 
Most interesting thing about Mona is that at the beginning of the 20th century she was stolen. The thief then sold 14 copies of her knowing that the buyers couldn't get her checked by an expert or tell anyone they'd bought her.

They came from that cinemamatic device in reality...
