EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back to the 1850s and introduced to two remarkable figures in American photography history - Albert Sands Southworth and Josiah Johnson Hawes. The daguerreotype captures a child, whose identity remains unknown, but their innocence and curiosity shine through. Southworth and Hawes were pioneers of their time, pushing the boundaries of early photography with their technical expertise and artistic vision. Their collaboration revolutionized portraiture by utilizing natural light to create stunningly detailed images that brought subjects to life. The composition is masterfully executed, showcasing the duo's ability to capture emotion within a single frame. The child's wide-eyed gaze draws us in, inviting us into their world for a brief moment frozen in time. It is as if they have been caught mid-thought or mid-play, leaving us wondering about the stories behind those innocent eyes. Quint Lox's skillful reproduction allows us to appreciate the intricate details of this historic daguerreotype print. Each delicate line etched onto metal tells a story of dedication and passion for capturing fleeting moments forever. This photograph serves as a testament not only to Southworth and Hawes' immense talent but also as a reminder of how far photography has come since its inception. It invites viewers to reflect on our own photographic journey while appreciating the timeless beauty captured by these visionary artists over 150 years ago.
