EDITORS COMMENTS
. This black and white daguerreotype print captures a tender moment frozen in time. The subject is Augusta Hawes, a young girl with an enchanting smile that radiates pure joy and curiosity. Taken in the 1850s by renowned photographers Josiah Johnson Hawes and Albert Sands Southworth, this portrait showcases their exceptional talent for capturing emotion through photography. The hand-colored details add a touch of vibrancy to the image, bringing Augusta's innocence to life. She stands framed within her own world, surrounded by a timeless charm that transcends generations. Her delicate features and wide-eyed wonderment invite us to step back in time and experience the simplicity of childhood during America's nineteenth century. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of the power of photography as both an art form and historical documentation. It serves as a window into another era—a testament to the enduring beauty found in everyday moments. Displayed proudly at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece represents not only Augusta's individual story but also reflects on our shared human experience. It reminds us all of our own journey from childhood innocence to adulthood—an evocative reminder that time may pass but memories remain eternally cherished. Through this remarkable collaboration between two pioneering photographers, Josiah Johnson Hawes and Albert Sands Southworth have gifted us with an intimate glimpse into history—one filled with love
