EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases John Quincy Adams, captured in a remarkable daguerreotype around 1850. The image measures 12.0 x 9.0 cm and is brought to life by the talented photographers Albert Sands Southworth and Josiah Johnson Hawes. John Quincy Adams, an influential figure in American history, served as the sixth President of the United States from 1825 to 1829. This photograph provides a rare glimpse into his later years, displaying his dignified presence and wise countenance. The daguerreotype technique used in this portrait was one of the earliest forms of photography, invented by Louis Daguerre in the early 19th century. It involved capturing images on silver-coated copper plates through exposure to light. Albert Sands Southworth hailed from West Fairlee, Vermont (1811-1894), while Josiah Johnson Hawes came from Wayland, Massachusetts (1808-1901). Together they formed a renowned partnership that revolutionized American photography during their time. The backdrop for this particular photo appears to be Crawford Notch in New Hampshire after Philip Haas's work—a picturesque setting that adds depth and character to the composition. As part of the Liszt Collection, this historical artifact serves as a testament to both artistic mastery and technological innovation. Its preservation allows us to appreciate not only John Quincy Adams' legacy but also the pioneers who immortalized him through their lens.
