= Droste effect
{wiki=Droste_effect}
The Droste effect is a visual and artistic phenomenon in which an image contains a smaller version of itself, recursively appearing within itself. This creates a sense of infinite depth or a self-referential loop. The name originates from a specific type of packaging used in the early 20th century for Droste cocoa powder, which featured an illustration of a nurse holding a tray that included a cocoa cup with an image of the same nurse holding the same tray.
