| | American Civil War - Checklist |
Contextual notes:
The limitations of cameras of the 1860's meant that photographs of the American Civil War have little motion and appear like tableau of events rather than the chaos of war.
Alexander Gardner (1821-1882) was a Scot who worked with the Mathew Brady Studio from 1860 and took some of the best photographs of the war. Following the war in 1866 he made two albums of photographs that contained one hundred albumen prints. The exact number of these rare album sets Alexander Gardner's Photographic Sketchbook of the War is unknown but thought to be around 125 copies. |
