Photographic historians have long acclaimed the daguerreotypes of Southworth & Hawes for the uncommon naturalistic style, attention to detail, and aesthetic quality of their portraits, but recent researches and discoveries have radically transformed our perceptions of their work. This presentation will reveal the social, cultural, and entrepreneurial climate that helped to inform, inspire, and define the photography of this period.

Grant Romer, Director of the Advanced Residency in Photographic Conservation at the George Eastman House; co-Curator, Young America: The Daguerreotypes of Southworth & Hawes
