Arts Masterclass: The Daguerrotypes of Augustus Washington
November 19, 2020 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Dalila Scruggs will focus on a daguerreotype by Augustus Washington. Washington was an African-American photographer and daguerrotypist, and she will discuss photography at its birth, the social conditions that led Washington to emigrate to Liberia rather than live in antebellum America, and portraiture as an art form and business.
