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.
