"Gezicht op het Hancock House te Boston" (View of the Hancock House in Boston), a daguerreotype taken by John Adams Whipple before 1854, captures a detailed view of the historic Hancock House in Boston. The image showcases Whipple's skill in capturing detail and light, a hallmark of his work in early photography. This small-format daguerreotype, measuring just 125mm by 96mm, provides a glimpse into the architectural landscape of 19th-century Boston and the burgeoning art of photography.
