介绍（中）	这是路易·达盖尔（1787-1851）发明的第一种摄影方法，1839年在巴黎向公众展示后，迅速在世界各地传播。每一块高度抛光的镀银铜板都是一张独特的照片，在适当的光线下观看，展现出非凡的细节和三维性 Southworth和Hawes在波士顿的合作伙伴关系为主要的政治、知识分子和艺术人物制作了美国最好的肖像匕首。他们还迎合了当地富有的客户，包括造船商唐纳德·麦凯（1810-1880）。麦凯是新斯科舍省人，在定居波士顿并建立自己的造船厂之前，他在纽约学习了这项业务。作为一个气势恢宏、略显威吓的主题，麦凯穿着优雅而昂贵的服装，就像一位生意兴隆的绅士。除了拍摄这幅肖像外，Southworth和Hawes还参观了McKay的造船厂和在那里建造的几艘船只，包括著名的海洋冠军号。1854年下水时，它是世界上最大的帆船，据说有一段时间，它是这幅引人注目的肖像画的故乡。
介绍（英）	This first photographic process invented by Louis Daguerre (1787-1851) spread rapidly around the world after its presentation to the public in Paris in 1839. Exposed in a camera obscura and developed in mercury vapors, each highly polished silvered copper plate is a unique photograph that, viewed in proper light, exhibits extraordinary detail and three-dimensionality. The Boston partnership of Southworth and Hawes produced the finest portrait daguerreotypes in America for leading political, intellectual, and artistic figures. They also catered to a wealthy local clientele including the shipbuilder Donald McKay (1810-1880). A native of Nova Scotia, McKay learned the business in New York before settling in Boston and establishing his own shipyard. An imposing and slightly intimidating subject, McKay wears the elegant expensive attire of a gentleman with a thriving business. In addition to making this portrait, Southworth and Hawes made views of McKay's shipyard and several of the vessels constructed there, including the famed Champion of the Seas. At the time of its launch in 1854, it was the largest sailing vessel in the world and, for a time, it is said to have been the home of this striking portrait.
