A superimposing and reproducing apparatus superimposes and reproduces a plurality of still pictures taken separately, e.g., a plurality of still picture signals recorded electrically without using any silver salt recording medium as a composite picture and displays it as a multiple-shot picture on an ordinary television receiver. The apparatus includes a switching circuit adapted to sequentially select the still picture signals read from the recording medium so as to produce a multiple-shot picture by virtue of the afterimage effect of vision.
