EDITORS COMMENTS
Auguste Edouart's Series of Silhouettes: A Glimpse into the Past Auguste Edouart's series of silhouettes captures the essence of portrait photography in the 1830s, long before the advent of the daguerreotype. This collection includes the profiles of five distinguished individuals, each etched against a dark background, revealing only their silhouettes. From left to right, we find Edmund Law Rogers, Lloyd N. Rogers, and Eleanor A. Rogers. These three are great-grandchildren of Martha Washington, the beloved wife of George Washington. The intriguing caption suggests that they are therefore his great-grandchildren as well. Although this may be a mistake, as Martha Washington was George Washington's wife and not their grandmother, the connection to American history adds an allure to these silhouettes. The next profile in the series is of A. Boisaubin, taken at Morristown, New Jersey. The exact identity of this individual remains a mystery, adding an element of intrigue to the collection. Lastly, we encounter Sir Walter Scott, the renowned Scottish author, taken in 1831 at Edinburgh. Scott's silhouette, like the others, is a testament to the artistry of Auguste Edouart, who skillfully captured the unique character of each subject through the simple yet powerful medium of silhouettes. These silhouettes offer a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when portrait photography was a more intimate and personal experience. Edouart's masterful creations continue to captivate and inspire us, reminding us of the rich history and artistic innovation of the 19th century.
