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包括主要政治、知识分子和艺术人物在内的客户制作了美国最好的肖像银版。这幅身份不明的女性的"奖章"肖像是一种罕见的困难技术的例子，在这种技术中，Southworth获得专利的滑板支架被用来在同一个盘子上连续曝光八次。坐着的人的脸的周期性排列暗示了月亮从"新"到"满月"的相位，仔细平分的黑白背景突出了这种效果。
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 a clientele that included leading political, intellectual, and artistic figures. This "medallion" portrait of an unidentified woman is a rare example of a difficult technique in which a sliding plateholder patented by Southworth was used to take eight sequential exposures on the same plate. The cyclical arrangement of the sitter's face suggests the phases of the moon from "new" to "full," an effect accentuated by the carefully bisected black and white background.
