1852 Daguerreotype Frame Hawes Johnson Josiah Photographer
EDITORS COMMENTS
This daguerreotype print showcases Josiah Johnson Hawes, a prominent American photographer of the 19th century. Taken around 1852, this portrait captures Hawes in his mid-forties, exuding an air of confidence and professionalism. Hawes was known for his exceptional talent in capturing the essence of his subjects through the then-revolutionary medium of photography. His keen eye for detail is evident in this image as every line and wrinkle on his face tells a story of a life well-lived. The daguerreotype process used to create this photograph was one of the earliest forms of photography, invented by Louis Daguerre in 1839. It involved exposing a silver-coated copper plate to light and developing it with mercury vapor to produce an incredibly detailed image. Displayed within an elegant frame, this print not only serves as a testament to Hawes' skill but also reflects the artistic value placed on early photographs during that era. The Granger Collection has preserved this piece from their extensive archives, allowing us to appreciate both the artistry behind it and its historical significance. As we gaze upon this remarkable portrait, we are transported back in time - witnessing firsthand the mastery and innovation that propelled Josiah Johnson Hawes into becoming one of America's most celebrated photographers.
