	Mathew Brady - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Brady was born in Warren County, New York, to Irish immigrant parents.
		Brady's early images were daguerreotypes, and he won many awards for his work; in the 1850's ambrotype photography became popular, which gave way to the albumen print, a paper photograph produced from large glass negatives most commonly used in the American Civil War photography.

	A History of Photography, by Robert Leggat: BRADY, Mathew
		Though Roger Fenton was the first to document war in photographs, Mathew Brady, who documented the American Civil War (1861-1865), was probably one of the greatest of photographic documentary photographers.
		Brady is one of the oldest daguerreotype artists in the country, and one of the most successful, too.
		A comment attributed to Brady is "The camera is the eye of history." He clearly saw his mission as that of a photographic historian, and our knowledge of this important era of American history is the better for it.

	Mathew Brady's Portraits
		Brady's critical role was to organize the sitter's pose, compose the setting, arrange the lighting and select the lenses - all in an effort to ensure the most flattering yet realistic likeness possible.
		Brady prospered in the 1850s, operating out of increasingly fancy quarters on Broadway, with galleries lined with portraits of prominent Americans from all walks of life.
		Brady himself spent relatively little time on battlefields, but he was the field general who organized the teams of operators and counseled them on what to photograph.

		Brady sent 20 daguerreotypes to the Great Exhibition in London in 1851; they won him a medal and were greatly admired.
		Perhaps the most famous of Brady's portraits was the standing figure of Abraham Lincoln taken at the time of his Cooper Union speech in 1861; Lincoln is reported to have said that the photograph and the speech put him in the White House.
		Today Brady's vast and brilliant historical record is divided between the National Archives and the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. Although he maintained his Washington gallery, Brady never fully recovered from his financial disasters.

	Matthew Brady
		Here Brady gained a tactical advantage that he would use during the war, for he was able to gain the respect of future Union and rebel generals alike, and had poised the neutrality that was necessary to picture both during their years of conflict.
		Brady and Gardener capture him well, and it's hard to say that they were in competition to produce the 'better' image of Lincoln because of the distinct similarities in all of the shots taken.
		Brady, when capturing the dead on the battlefields, not only captured this reality, but historically left a foundation for all historians to base their research and studies on how powerful of a war the Civil War was.
