One in an edition limited to 3,600 copies. The first definitive monograph on Southworth & Hawes. From the dust jacket- "Among the portrait studios that prospered in America in the early 1840s, one Boston firm achieved international prominence: the studio of Albert Sands Southworth and Josiah Johnson Hawes. Formed in 1843 and dissolved in 1862, their partnership produced an extraordinary range of portraits and views widely celebrated for their technical brilliance and aesthetic superiority."
