Abstract
I SHOULD be grateful to your photographic readers, whether amateur or professional, who would send me, within the next two or three weeks, waste photographic portraits, to be cut up, mounted, reduced to a miniature scale, and so to be published without names. They are wanted in considerable numbers to control results at which I have already arrived, relating to resemblance. Family portraits would be particularly acceptable. I make this appeal, finding it extremely troublesome, as well as costly, to obtain the needed material in other ways.
