It puts the two characters side by side, ln the same direction, making it the appearance assumes that the front sterds largest ls. Other hand, are equally (GERMAN(it actually is german!!!!!(left side)))
By placing the two figures next to one another. it seems that the former is larger but that these are of same size (French(right side))

there are cards you can get, for this trick. they’re curved, so you lay them side by side and tell all your drunk friends to pick the bigger one. they pick the first one. then you swap them and they demand their money back. lol.
the fact that the images are drawn so that they curve (like a bracket->’)'), makes them seem different sizes.
hopefully someone else has seen these cards somewhere, they’re really common here in australia :D
ps: noone cares what language it is. german and dutch are really similar, just as swedish and norse are, and most people can’t tell the difference between japanese and mandorin. (despite the latter being COMPLETELY different to japanese, and it’s really cantonese that sounds more like jap but who even CARES). I have a friend who get’s russian and greek confused. PLEASE EXPLAIN THAT TO ME?? lol. my point is, we have a translation. we know what it says. yay! now who cares what language it is?

It is Vlaams for sure, but the kind of Vlaams ( or Dutch) they spoke 50 years ago ;-) It is a good illusion anyway!

Err… I hate to pop everyone’s bubble but the booklet you see is actually Belgian.
Some of you are right, the left text is dutch, the right hand side is french, this is because in belgium, we have two official languages…
being dutch and french.

I hope this helps clear up the smoke here.

@ Anonymous, who said “the left text isn’t dutch it’s vlaams thats the language they speak in belgian.”, Vlaams is very similar to mid-1900 dutch, so it could very well be dutch what’s spoken. Nonetheless, as the other language is french, it’s most likely to be from some belgian book, since those are the two official languages there.

The one on the left looks larger because the perspective is from a distance further away. quite a few of Goliath's features are smaller relative to David's.

Arm length is smaller.
Hands are smaller.
Head is smaller.

Our brains are re-sizing Goliath so they are on the same scale (hands, head, arms) in which case Goliath would be larger.

it looks bigger because of the angle of the top and the bottom

it starts out smaller but gradually becomes bigger

I think that goliath looks bigger because his arm is lifted a litte bit.
