With the wide-angle lens still a thing of the future, the only way for a mid-19th-century photographer to achieve cinemascopic perspective was to stand in one place and shoot, turn a bit to the left or right and shoot again, and later line up the pictures, edge to edge, in sequence.
Distortion is present when straight lines running parallel with the picture edges appear to bow outward (barrel distortion) or inward (pincushion distortion).
In One for the Road (the banal but ominous title is typical), the car is trapped by the picture edge, which cuts off the front end.
And that her wall of cuttings and pictures – which edges ever closer to the rainbow delight of Carrie from Homeland – remains, albeit with added Gustav pic.

The elementary units of the system are reduced to simple points, called vertices (or nodes), while their pairwise relationships/interactions are pictured as edges (or links).
In the picture, the edges on the left and right are both incorrectly oriented.
