Surreal photomontages were published in the French La Nature (1893), republished in Scientific American, and then included in Woodbury (1896). In some of the images we can perhaps see the influence of Carroll's Alice. The pictures appear on pages 132-134 of LN and are headed "Recreations Photographiques" and credited to an "M. R. Riccart", now unknown. Old copies of La Nature would later provide a fertile mine of ideas for Max Ernst (see Krauss, The Optical Unconscious).
