EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a remarkable portrait of a seated man with his hat resting on his knee. The subject, Alexander Hesler, was an American photographer born in Canada in 1823 and passed away in 1895. This particular image was captured between the years 1848 and 1853 using the daguerreotype technique, which involved creating a direct positive image on a silvered copper plate. What makes this photograph truly unique is that it has been hand-colored, adding an extra layer of artistry to the already stunning composition. The delicate hues bring life to Hesler's features and provide a glimpse into the fashion trends of that era. Measuring at approximately 11.7 x 8.6 cm (4 5/8 x 3 3/8 inches), this small yet impactful piece captures Hesler's presence with great detail and precision. His relaxed posture exudes confidence while his gaze invites viewers to delve deeper into his enigmatic personality. The Liszt Collection proudly presents this exquisite print as part of their extensive collection, offering art enthusiasts an opportunity to appreciate not only the technical mastery behind early photography but also gain insight into historical figures like Alexander Hesler.
