OverviewPhotography 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.Full Product DetailsAuthor: Wayne Youngblood , Ray BondsPublisher: Chartwell Books Imprint: Chartwell Books Dimensions: Width: 34.80cm , Height: 2.50cm , Length: 24.60cm Weight: 1.996kg ISBN: 9780785826668ISBN 10: 0785826661 Pages: 256 Publication Date: 01 May 2010 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Hardback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print  This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.
