The artist-photographers of the 1920s also explored double-exposures. One of the most successful is Rod-chenko's portrait of Alexander Schewtschenko (1924) showing the painter in profile as well as full face.

Sights of Edinburgh have been partially sifted above, but there are enough of them, in actuality, to keep you trotting for a week. A sight I've liked that seems to get little play is the IVa-tional Portrait Gallery and Antiquities Museum, on Queen Street and St. Andrew Street. The antiquities include, besides Roman and Bronze-Age items, fascinating relics of Mary Queen of Scots, of Bonnie Prince Charlie, of Bobbie Burns, of Sir Walter Scott, of Alexander Selkirk, the original Robinson Crusoe, and many other celebrities. |
