FIG. 1.—REPRODUCTION OF A PHOTOGRAPH OF A MULTIPLE PLATE.
FIG. 2.—DIAGRAM SHOWING THE ARRANGEMENT OF THE APPARATUS.
The [portrait] which we reproduce was taken by a photographer of Constantinople, Mr. Baboudjian. The subject of the photograph is represented a number of times, so that the whole presents the aspect of a number of persons standing in a line. Two mirrors, A and B, are placed parallel to each other, and are separated by an interval of about two feet. In the narrow corridor thus formed he places the subject to be photographed. One of the mirrors must be a little taller than the other, and the apparatus is turned toward the shorter one and is slightly inclined toward the floor. The mirrors are without frames. The result of this arrangement is shown in our engraving, the same person being represented a number of times. There is considerable difficulty in lighting the subject properly.
