介绍（中）	剪影和照片在投下的阴影中有着相似的起源。追踪一个人的影子创造了一幅剪影肖像，它持久地提醒人们一种转瞬即逝的存在——一首基于简单的明暗原理的挽歌，同时用化学方法固定阴影，产生了一些已知最早的照片，这些照片本身就是直接放在感光纸上的树叶剪影。然而，1839年公布的第一个摄影工艺是银版照相术，它在高度抛光的铜片上产生了独特的图像。银版照相术很快在肖像画中流行起来，并开始侵占天才的微型画家和雕塑家的领地，如T·P·琼斯，他是用这种银版照相法复制剪影的制作者。这件物品本质上是一幅肖像画，既是纪念品，也是一种复制品，表明美国的肖像传统被另一种传统所取代。
介绍（英）	Silhouettes and photographs share a similar origin in the cast shadow. Tracing a person's shadow created a silhouette portrait that served as an enduring reminder of a fleeting presence-an elegy based on the simple principles of light and dark-while fixing a shadow chemically resulted in some of the earliest known photographs, which were themselves silhouettes of leaves placed directly on sensitized paper. However, the first photographic process, unveiled in 1839, was the daguerreotype, which produced a unique image on a highly polished sheet of copper. The daguerreotype quickly became popular for portraiture and began to encroach upon the territory of talented miniature painters and silhouettists such as T. P. Jones, the maker of the silhouette reproduced in this daguerreotype. This object is essentially a portrait of a portrait-both a keepsake and a reproduction that suggests the replacement of one American portrait tradition with another.
