Droste effect (en.wikipedia.org)

The Droste effect is the effect of a picture [recursively] appearing within itself, in a place where a similar picture would realistically be expected to appear. In art history, the technique is known as mise en abyme. This produces a loop which in theory could go on forever, but in practice only continues as far as the image's resolution allows.
