  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.
Also in 1862, Brady presented an exhibition of photographs from the Battle of Antietam in his New York gallery entitled, "The Dead of Antietam." Many of the images in this presentation were graphic photographs of corpses, making the presentation totally new to America.

 Vintage Photographs - MATTHEW B. BRADY - From a Collection of Fine Photographs by well-known Artists, including ...
MATTHEW B. 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.
Though Brady's work was much admired at the time, he gained little in financial terms; tired of this long war, people did not want reminders of it and whereas Fenton had clearly taken his pictures with an eye to selling them, Brady's were honest - sometimes brutally so, and people no longer wanted his pictures.
