ari-Vue, the company that entertained us with the whimsical, hand-held "flickers", realized their greatest potential in the corporate and advertising world. Large and oversized, these lenticular ("flicker" and 3-D) images were not to be held in ones hands, but were used for point of purchase or advertising purposes. These exquisite images were to be seen by walking past them. Some were either counter or shelf displays, while others were wall displays.

Alphaville is pleased to represent some of these "rarer" lenticulars from the Vari-Vue files.
