Mathew Brady

Mathew Brady (ca. 1820s-1896) was a 19th century photographer and a prominent practitioner in the early decades of photography. Studying under inventor Samuel Morse (who introduced the daguerrotype process in America), Brady photographed luminaries of the day from Edgar Allan Poe to Presidents (including Abraham Lincoln). With camera operators in the field, Brady produced extensive photographs of the Civil War which would serve as a substantial legacy to subsequent historians.
