The Seeas of the Future, **A photograph that flatters will soon be a thing of the past,’’ said a photog rapher the other day. “It will be im possible to make our faces appear to the most. ‘advantage by a clever pose, for the latest innovati in the multiphotograph, which is destined to become the photographic portrait of the future, will reveal all our defects and crudities. The great study which young women give their faces, to find out in which position—side, three-quar ter or full face—they look the best, will all be put to naught, for the multi photograph will take them in all these positions and others as well. The process makes it possible to ob tain a perfect likeness of a person, as one is able to see the face and head in all possible positions and can thus get all the characteristics. This new effect is obtained by mirrors being placed at certain angles. When a person stands in front of the glasses, his likeness is reflected from 6 to 12 times, according to the arrangement of the mirrors, each image being in a different position, so that the same effect is obtained that would be secured if you were to walk around a person, viewing him from all sides and points, ‘‘The operator photographs the sub ject and the reflections in the mirrors. The result is the multiphotograph. I think it is destined to become the photo graph of the future, as it is the only thing that will give you a likeness of a person as seen from all sides. Art in this case must succumb to nature, and the instruction that is too frequently given the photographer, ‘Make me as pretty as you can,’ will have to be done away with.’’—Pittsburg Dispatch.
