Then the picture is from the last, and the image you see in the mirrors is from a past before the image.

Technically, everything we see is from the past. We can't actually see the present. The further we see, we look further to the past. Things like lightnings we see in the wild happened some fractions of a second before we saw them, for example. Useless trivia but I like it.

Yeah sure, but the task was to show someone a picture that is older, not one that is not from the past. That would require some sketchy technobabble at least.
