Biography:
Josiah Johnson Hawes’s initial aspiration was to become a painter. However, after working as an apprentice to a carpenter, he became interested in photography. He attended a lecture series in Boston in 1840 given by a pupil of Daguerre, Francois Gouraud. Hawes began as an independent daguerreotypist but established a partnership with Albert Sands Southworth in Boston in 1844. Southworth was also in attendance at the 1840 lecture series and soon after, moved to New York to study the process. From 1840 to 1844, he owned a portrait studio with Joseph Pennell. After his partner’s departure from the business, Southworth joined Hawes and established a collaboration that lasted for seventeen years. Together, they patented the “Grand Parlor Stereoscope” camera, a plate holder, and a stereoscope viewer. They also sold daguerreotype supplies. The partnership ended in 1862. Afterward, Southworth began lecturing and Hawes continued to photograph on his own.
