His father was in favor of abolition and named all of his children after a famous speaker or writer on the issue. Horace had lived in New York his whole life even through the upheaval during the Civil War. When he was 14 and reached the end of his schooling it was time to find him a trade. His father got him started as an apprentice to Enoch Middleditch, a society photographer, who thinks of his trade as a scientific art. But when wealthy society matron Mrs. Frederick Von Macht orders a photographic portarait, strange things begin to happen.
