SOUL DREAMS
AND then I looked backwards to what had been Life, to where I had
xV lived and loved and found, in some measure, peace; backwards upon
what was now nothing but a recession of resolving sun-dust. And
therein I discerned diminishing dim shades aglow as with the after-light of
a vanished sun. And a voice seemed to ask: “Wouldst return again to those
who in Life you held so dear ?”
And with a great heart-throb I reach forth my arms towards the fast
retreating shades. But a voice from within me, unfamiliar, and yet verily the
voice of my soul's self till now prisoned and stifled, questioning said: “ Know-
est not that those dear to thee among the Living are but dreams and were not
and never were ?” And behold as I looked I knew that those far luminosities
were indeed but melting sun-mists.

OUR PLATES
WE are presenting in this number of Camera Work ten examples of
George H. Seeley’s work, eight of which represent his development
during the past three years, while the last two belong to the last few
months. The gravures were made directly from the original negatives; the
most part without any guide prints. Therefore, as in similar previous cases,
we warn our readers that they should be regarded as interpretations rather
than reproductions. They were made by the Manhattan Photogravure Com-
pany, who have also reproduced the De Zayas caricatures.
Marius de Zayas is not unknown to readers of Camera Work, though
few of them have had the opportunity of seeing the exhibition of his drawings
shown in the Photo-Secession Galleries last January. The originals are 22 x 28
inches, executed in black French chalk; so subtle in their color-value as to
defy reproduction by the ordinary methods. This is therefore the first occasion
on which an adequate representation of their original humor and technical
charm has been attempted. We feel sure that our readers will detect in these
few examples the very unusual quality of mind and craftsmanship possessed
by De Zayas. The series of these portrait caricatures also includes leaders
of fashion in New York and members of the Photo-Secession. But since the
American public is still a little sensitive to caricature and we wish to avoid any
sugge^ions of undue personality, we have selected on this occasion examples
only of admittedly professional public characters.
