This picture of *Josiah HAWES, a Daguerreotype, is a second discovered image of this prolific photographer. The partners were early pioneers in photography who considered themselves artists. They introduced favorable natural lighting from a large skylight they installed in their upper floor studio. The piece is an item locked inside our vault. If you are interested, contact us for info and any pictures on-file. We can even un-vault the item, take some more quick images for you, before we fast-track it to our catalogue. A 1/6th Plate, its value is enhanced by the subject, the Photographer. We will add this to our catalogue in the 5,001 - $10,000 price range.
