Josiah Johnson Hawes (1808-1901) was a photographer in Boston, Massachusetts. He and Albert Southworth established the photography studio of Southworth & Hawes, which produced numerous portraits of exceptional quality in the 1840s-1860s.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Young America: The Daguerreotypes of Southworth & Hawes )〕 ==Biography== J.J. Hawes was born in Wayland, Massachusetts in 1808. He began his career as a portrait painter. He then studied photography in Boston with Francis Fauvel-Gouraud.〔〔Oldest Photographer Dead. New York Times, Aug 10, 1901, p.7.〕 In 1843 Hawes and Southworth formed the partnership of Southworth & Hawes, with studios on Tremont Row, in Boston's Scollay Square. The studio produced daguerreotype portraits of many notables, including Lemuel Shaw, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Daniel Webster, and others.〔(Boston Almanac ). 1847〕 The studio rooms overlooked "a fine orchard, belonging to the Gardiner Greene estate. From these windows, facing Scollay Sq., we looked on the church and gardens of Brattle Street"〔Hawes, quoted in: Treasures in Pictures. Boston Daily Globe, Feb 21, 1898. p.9.〕 In 1849 Hawes married Nancy Stiles Southworth (Albert’s sister). They had three children: Alice, Marion and Edward. After the partnership with Southworth dissolved in 1863, Hawes continued as a photographer on Tremont Row for several decades, through the 1890s.〔Boston Directory, 1868; Boston Almanac, 1883, 1894.〕 In his later years he was known as the "oldest working photographer in this country."〔Boston Transcript, 1898.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Josiah Johnson Hawes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
