Multiple views of the same object

http://www.vam.ac.uk/collections/furniture/object_stories/lawson/index.html It is often not possible to capture a complex physical object using a single item of media. It may be necessary to use a set of photographs representing multiple views of the same physical object. A series of photographs may also be used to capture the same physical object in different locations, for example the various locations within the Victoria and Albert Museum in which The Three Graces has been exhibited. This example shows the records for the Lawson Cabinet at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London.

Record for the cabinet:
