D is acomposite of five adult faces, which arenot given individually for want of space. Of the other two illustrations, the firstone (fig. 34) is the composite of theindividual portraits of twelve mathe-maticians of the National Academy ofSciences of Washington, the second one(fig. 35) the composite of the individualportraits of sixteen naturalists of thesame society. In order to arrive at a satisfactoryresult, the most characteristic, strongest-featured face ought to be taken first, andthe others in declining succession. Ifthe faces to be combined should be of asimilar texture, as in the case of a num-ber of young ladies, then the exposureshould be duly proportioned ; that of thefirst receiving the longest time. Thus in 94 PHOTOGRAPHIC Fig. 34.—Composite Photograph of 12 Mathematicians.
