Examples of Cylindrical Mirror Anamprphosis or Catoptric Anamorphosis
At the Metropolitan Museum of Art, NYC, NY: An installation, entitled Anamorphosis: The Playground of Perspective, presents and explains with examples the fascinating phenomenon of images seen in optical distortions caused by the use of a reflecting cylindrical mirror, or catoptric anamorphosis. The key piece of this installation is a very rare, newly acquired drawing of a Roman soldier either by Jean-François Niceron (1613–1646) or an artist in his circle, which is drawn in distorted catoptric anamorphosis, and exhibited alongside a number of prints of catoptric anamorphic images from the seventeenth to the nineteenth century. A vitrine nearby demonstrates, step by step, how this kind of optical distortion was made.

AnamorphicSoftware
AnamorphicSoftware
Anamorph Me! is a free software application to carry out anamorphic transformations on images. A new version is under development in Java, to be used as a set of plugins for the free image processing software, ImageJ (http://imagej.nih.gov/ij/).
See the github repository: https://github.com/phillipkent/AnamorphMeIJ .

Anamorph Me! (version 0.2 for Windows)
The original version of the software was published in 2001. It is very old software, but still works surprisingly well.
Anamorph Me! is a free, small software application that can read images in the most common formats (e.g. JPEG, BMP) and carry out a range of anamorphic transformations on them - including oblique, cylindical mirror and conical mirror. Please note that this software runs in Microsoft Windows operating systems only (however you may have luck with a Windows emulator in MacOS or Linux - do let me know if you make that work).
With apologies to Leonardo, here are some sample output images:
