ALBERT SANDS SOUTHWORTH, JOSIAH JOHNSON HAWES. Lemuel Shaw

Lemuel Shaw. Artist: Albert Sands Southworth (American, West Fairlee, Vermont 1811-1894 Charlestown, Massachusetts); Josiah Johnson Hawes (American, Wayland, Massachusetts 1808-1901 Crawford Notch, New Hampshire). Dimensions: 21.6 x 16.5 cm (8 1/2 x 6 1/2 in.). Photography Studio: Southworth and Hawes (American, active 1843-1863). Date: ca. 1850.
The Boston partnership of Southworth and Hawes produced the finest portrait daguerreotypes in America for a clientele that included leading political, intellectual, and artistic figures.  This first photographic process, invented by Louis Daguerre (1787-1851), spread rapidly around the world after its public presentation in Paris in 1839.  Exposed in a camera obscura and developed in mercury vapors, each highly polished silvered copper plate is a unique photograph that, viewed in proper light, exhibits extraordinary detail and three-dimensionality.  Lemuel Shaw's imposing presence, sculpted by intense sunlight and gifted artistic vision, is a startling departure from the conventional posed portrait, customarily set in a studio and lit indirectly.

Traducción automática: Lemuel Shaw. Artista: Albert Sands Southworth (Americano, West Fairlee, Vermont, 1811-1894, Charlestown, Massachusetts); Josiah Johnson Hawes (estadounidense, Wayland, Massachusetts, 1808-1901, Crawford Notch, New Hampshire). Dimensiones: 21,6 x 16,5 cm (8 1/2 x 6 1/2 pulg.). Estudio de fotografía: Southworth and Hawes (estadounidense, activo entre 1843 y 1863). Fecha: ca. 1850. La sociedad de Boston de Southworth y Hawes produjo los mejores daguerrotipos de retratos de Estados Unidos para una clientela que incluía destacadas figuras políticas, intelectuales y artísticas. Este primer proceso fotográfico, inventado por Louis Daguerre (1787-1851), se difundió rápidamente por todo el mundo tras su presentación pública en París en 1839. Expuesta en una cámara oscura y revelada en vapores de mercurio, cada placa de cobre plateado altamente pulido es una fotografía única. que, visto con la luz adecuada, exhibe extraordinarios detalles y tridimensionalidad. La imponente presencia de Lemuel Shaw, esculpida por la intensa luz del sol y su talentosa visión artística, es un sorprendente alejamiento del retrato posado convencional, habitualmente ambientado en un estudio e iluminado indirectamente.
