Not illustrated. 1875 Excerpt: ... distances between the eye and the point on the chest marked by a cross are exactly equal in both busts--the greatest breadth of chest, including the ends of both arms, amounts in I. to 2-29472 inches, and in II. to 2-82283 inches. Quite independently of this glaring difference, there are other marked distinctions between the two heads which strike the careful observer. Let a line a a be drawn across the top of the hair--in II. it is horizontal, in I. it inclines to the right. Next let attention be directed to the pedestal. The curves in I. are strongly inclined, and in II. are quite horizontal. Let the ends of the arms A A be next considered. In I. the side surface is scarcely seen, and in II. it is very apparent. In like manner, it is clearly seen that the back pediment at u in II. stands out more than in I. In II. the head stands more between the shoulders (let the angle of the neck be observed at W), in I. it rises up more; therefore the whole form appears in I. to raise up the head more on high. In II. the head appears somewhat bent forward; and yet the figure was immovable, the lenses employed free from flaw, the eye-line and height were the same in both. Nothing was different but the distance. The author, besides taking these two heads, has taken two others at the distance of 60 and 80 inches; and if In the original photograph, where the two busts stand out from a black background, this difference is still more marked. the four heads thus taken are placed beside each other, it is seen how with the increase of distance the form becomes thickset, fuller, and dumpy; how the hair sinks more and more; how the ellipses become closer; and how the chest increases in width, and the stumps of the arms widen out. Thus, therefore, we see very different views of ... Hermann Wilhelm Vogel, Books, Art and Architecture, The chemistry of light and photography Books>Art and Architecture, General Books LLC<
