The Photographic Grin.— Many of us have cffteu remarked how differently our fijend* look in their pictures from what fhey. do in real life. Under the above captipn, Dickens, in “All the Year Hound,” partly explains the matter and treat# the. subject very readably. He says: “In turning over the leaves of an al bum we" frequently pass our acquaint ances without even a nod* How is -this? Thqphotograph may be irreproachable as a work of art, and it is impossible to be other a transcript of what wsf presented at the camera. How comes it, then, that it is not a likeness ? Sim ply the original was, at the crit ical moment, unlike himself. When about to'be photographed, one is apt to feel that, like Marshal Ney, the eyes of Europe are upon him—that, according to the position he assumes, judgment will be passed on his. good or bad figure, awkwardness »or grace. He wishes to present himself on papet to an admiring not to a critical public. Placed in a po sition always chosen by the operator (being, to save himself the trouble re-ar ranging accessories, precisely the same as that which the last sitter occupied, his head screwed into a vice behind, he is told to look at out identical]spot on the wall, and keep still. Thus posed, he regards further opera tionk with much the. same feeling of dis trust as he would those of a dentist. In imagination; he hears the sharp iattle of the forceps, or thfi punch. His breath ing becomes thicker. and quicker as the critical moment arrives, his heart beats audibly against his waistcoat, and a. hazy film falls over his eyes. In this delight ful condition of mind and body, he is en joined to ‘keep quite still and put on a natural expression;’ as if expressions were as easy to put on as gloves. The inevitable consequence is, that he ‘grins horribly a ghastly smile,’ the like of which never passed over his features be fore. Yet both operator and sitter won der why the portrait is so very unlike.
