Lemuel Shaw, Presidente do Tribunal Supremo de Massachusetts

Photography Studio Southworth and Hawes American
ca. 1850
Not on view
O estúdio fotográfico bostoniano de Southworth e Hawes produziu os melhores retratos daguerreotipados dos Estados Unidos para uma clientela que incluía proeminentes políticos, intelectuais e artistas. O daguerreótipo, primeiro processo fotográfico da história, difundiu-se rapidamente pelo mundo após sua apresentação ao público em Paris em 1839. No processo daguerreotípico, placas de cobre prateadas e muito polidas eram expostas em uma câmara escura e reveladas mediante vapores de mercúrio. Cada uma delas é uma imagem única que, vista embaixo de uma luz adequada, exibe grande riqueza de detalhes e tridimensionalidade. Aqui, a presença imponente de Lemuel Shaw, esculpida por intensa luz solar e visão artística talentosa, difere radicalmente dos retratos clássicos que costumavam ser feitos em um estúdio com luz indireta.
