mirror images

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'are identical' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'those pictures put behind the glass' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'pictures' could be 'images' ('image' can be a synonym of 'picture') and 'images' is located in the answer.
'glass' could be 'mirror' (a looking glass is a mirror) and 'mirror' is located in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for mirror images that I've seen is " results of reflection".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
