Lord Feathering Stone of Stratford, upon Sussex, upon a Vaughan, upon France, reporting

from 1762, I am here to warn you about a danger that is going to sweep the world in the

next century, something called a Cameraw.

As we all know, having a portrait as a privilege reserved for us, fancy, shmancy, rich people,

we pay tons of money for the privilege of immortalising our powdered wigs and frilly shirts.

As we should, these looks will stay hot for all time.

But our sources say this Cameraw will allow any old riffraff to take a picture and have

their own portrait and it's ravisty.

Our correspondent took to the streets to see how the public reacts.

Yes, my lord, I am here at the town market to consult with the common folk, many of whom

aren't wearing buckle shoes or fine brouffled silk garments.

Here's what these fashion, oh no no no, are saying.

Ooh, I'd love to see my face without looking into a spoon.

I've been corresponding for quite some time with a lovely lady up in the North country.

She thinks I'm quite tall and muscular and handsome, so I'll stick with pen and paper.

Thank you.

Wait, it can make portraits of anything.

Forget me, I want pictures of my dog and my lunch.

People would love to see that, right?

So there you have it, this Cameraw you speak of will be welcomed with open arms.

Oh dear, dear, if we let the masses have this technology, we'll be drowning in pictures

of everyone we've ever met.
