"Accompanying a traveling exhibition of the same title, Young America is the most significant publication to date on Southworth & Hawes, featuring over 150 full-scale color reproductions as well as nearly 2,000 additional black-and-white illustrations. Edited by Grant B. Romer, Director of the Advanced Program in Photography Conservation at George Eastman House, and Brian Wallis, Director of Exhibitions and Chief Curator at the International Center of Photography, it includes critical analyses of the historical and cultural importance of the work of Southworth & Hawes by noted scholars in the field. Appendices include a chronology, an annotated bibliography, an exploration of the daguerreotype process, and a Southworth & Hawes family genealogy, making this catalogue an invaluable resource for researchers as well as general readers."--Book jacket.
