Sixth Plate

A BEAUTY FROM BOSTON! Stylistically, the young woman?s very pleasant professionally cleaned and retaped sixth plate screams out ?I was taken by the master makers located at 5 1/2 Tremont Row in Beane Towne!? Southworth & Hawes were indeed enamored with vignettes and varying degrees of soft focus. Their ability to coax relaxed smiles and kindly expressions from their cooperative subjects was a hallmark of the studio. Their use of a skylight for illumination was quite evident in this example. Casey added a classic black leather push button case that the partners favored.
