Mathew B. Brady: America's First Great Photographer Hardcover - 2010

by Ray Bonds; Wayne Youngblood


From the publisher

Photography was still in its infancy when the Civil War broke out in 1861, yet one young man, Mathew B. Brady, had the vision to create a detailed photographic record of the conflict, which nobody imagined would last for more than a few months.

Brady and his associate photographers made literally thousands of images, for the most part now in the care of the Library of Congress. This book is intended as a tribute to the talented, hardy, and ardent photographers, reproducing a selection of their works--blemishes and all--which are now recognized as the first in depth photo documentation of warfare.
