EDITORS COMMENTS

Albert Sands Southworth was a renowned American photographer who, along with his partner Josiah Johnson Hawes, captured the essence of mid-19th century America through their lens. Their photographs were not only technically impressive but also deeply evocative, providing a glimpse into the lives and personalities of their subjects. In "Untitled (Rev. Daniel Sharp, Congregationalist Preacher), 1850, " Southworth's talent for portraiture shines through as he captures the intensity and wisdom in Reverend Sharp's eyes. The photograph exudes an air of authority and reverence. Another striking portrait is "Untitled (Erastus Hopkins, Free Soiler), 1852. " Here, Southworth masterfully captures Hopkins' determined expression and rugged features, reflecting his commitment to political activism during a time of great social change. Southworth's versatility is evident in "Untitled (Boston Customs House), 1850, " where he turns his lens towards architecture. The image showcases intricate details while highlighting the grandeur of this iconic building. The self-portrait titled "Untitled (Self-Portrait of Josiah Johnson Hawes), 1865" reveals another side to these photographers' artistry. It offers a rare glimpse into their personal lives and allows us to appreciate their dedication to their craft. Southworth's fascination with capturing moments extends beyond portraits; it can be seen in "Mt. Auburn Cemetery, Cambridge Massachusetts, " taken in 1850. This hauntingly beautiful image transports viewers to a serene resting place filled with history and tranquility. In "A Woman in Bonnet and Shawl, with her Seated Son, " dating back to around 1850, Southworth portrays tenderness between mother and child—a timeless bond that transcends generations. Collaborating with Hawes on "The Letter" from around the same period demonstrates how they seamlessly merged artistic vision into one cohesive work. The photograph tells its own story, leaving viewers to wonder about the contents of that mysterious letter.
