Description
Plate 27 from FORTY ETCHINGS : FROM SKETCHES MADE WITH THE CAMERA LUCIDA , IN NORTH AMERICA IN 1827 AND 1828 by Captain Basil Hall . From the author's description : "All these Figures were sketched , by their own desire , at a house where we slept in the interior of the State of Georgia . The old gentleman , who , by the way , chose his own attitude , happened to catch a glimpse of the Camera Lucida when our things were lifted out of the carriage , and nothing would satisfy him but an immediate proof of its powers . `You shall draw me , sir, ' said he, `and all my six sons , and then I shall be satisfied that there is no exaggeration in this matter. ' I was quite willing to gratify our friendly host , who had taken us in, and though he kept no tavern , promised us a night's lodging . In those wild parts of the country , indeed , this is universally done , and regular charges are made , though the whole arrangements are considered voluntary . Before I got above half way through the family group a furious thunder-storm came on, which lasted till it was too dark to use the instrument ; but the old man was well pleased when I told him his picture , and that of his sons , would probably be seen in the Old Country , a thousand leagues and more from his dwelling in the forest.
