But am DEPRESSING.
Mr.. Parker Pipps went to have his pic
ture taken by q Daguerrean artist who Wis
tied Manchester to benefit himself pecuni-
arily, and fatter stters altogether.
i cannot assert thatthe portraits exhibit
ed IN his room were specimens of high art,
knowing that the shades we've entirely
black, and the lights so white that they
bali dazzled you. The portraits Of the
gentlemen were extremely curious, each
of them being of cadaverous complexion,
and looking as though they had just bought
halr-brushes. They had drag-down ex-
preston at the corners Of their mouths,
and placid air generally, which gave
one tie idea Of Methodist ministers out Of
employment AS for the portraits of the
ladies-why, all can say, is that an old
maid would be angelic in comparison
Such hard mouths such stern eyes such
terribly starchcd caps, and such stiff fic-
ures; such scorn Of crinoline, (well | /
won't find fault with that. and such
Puritanical air altogether, that how any
man in the possession Of his reason could
possibly fall in love with any Of them
cannot comprehend.
The professor of photographs was
modest man, very modest indeed lie had |
not studied Titan, but he had polished
plates; and knew more of Collodion than
Of Correggio. | do not fancy that he knew
much about Perugino, or Paul Potter, or
Peter Paul Reubens, but he polished
plate finely, and he finished one off for Mr..
Parker Pipps.
Now what mistakes people make when
hey sit down TO have their portraits taken:
They 60 into saloon, or a room, and look
as unusual as possible. They brush their
lair until it looks much like an antiquated
'lacking-brush. They fix their eyes in
impossible directions, and lidget with their
oats and shirt-colars. They make them
selves ridiculous in fact, and so do not get
ikenesses Of themselves. This is what
Mr.. Parker Pipps did, but of his pictorial
LONGS | shall tell in chapter the third.
