"Learn
to look and see
the
difference under different
lights in the same faces.
Learn to see the fine points
in every face, for the
plainest faces in the world
are human faces, belonging to
human beings..."
Albert
S. Southworth, Comments
at the National
Photographic
Association,
1873

VIGNETTES
OR HEADS SIMPLY, improperly
styled by some CRAYON
DAGUERREOTYPES--This is
our own style--we were the
first to practice it, and in
it are some of our very best
pictures. Though we made many
previously, it is more than
four years since we adopted
it. The strength and boldness
of the effect can be equalled
in no other way. No drapery
attracts the eye from the face
and its character.
--From
a promotional article by
Albert S. Southworth in The
Massachusetts Register:
A State Record, for the
Year 1852, p.327--328.
