I only remember the cover: A hooded figure with a reflecting glass covering
the face. Does this ring a bell?

  Thank you. That's precisely what I was looking for.

Maybe one day google will be so advanced that you can pose it a question
like the one I made in my original post, and it will be intelligent enough
to give you the correct results...

(And yes, I tried with everything I could think of before asking here. This
is really a case that basically no search keyword helps...)

Or, in words, "povray.off-topic is greater than google.com"

Yeah. But I think that day is still some way away.

Not really - the search keyword "Vidocq" /would/ have helped...

<ducks & runs>

  That's not a search keyword. That's the answer.

It's like an NP decision problem; the solution can be easily verified, 
but not easily computed.

(Except that it's not a decision problem. And we've not talking about 
computation, we're talking about Google searches. And that this is a 
horrible analogy...)

Maybe deep down at the core of the problem it /is/ an NP decision problem?
