A great deal of rubbish is printed
about soul portraiture; we constantly read of
heaven-favoured artists who are able to strip the
soul from its earthly tenement and present it
intact to an awe-stricken audience in terms of
paint. It is a matter of surprise that it should
even be found necessary to point out that Mr.
A. or Mrs. B., not to mention Miss C., are pecu-

are not, why mention their work? If the sitter’s
expression is not counterfeit, the up-to-date
photographer is also able to portray character
and is of necessity in a position to render still
greater exactitude in the features. In discussing
briefly the art of Anna Belle Kindlund, then, we
