mathew brady and the photographic documentation of the civil war

Matthew Brady is the son of an Irish immigrant who came to the United States in the late 1830s and after that year they became inhabitants of Saratoga Springs who met artist William Page. Page had a great influence on Brady's artistic lifestyle and taught him to do jewelry, case production, and painting. Page grabbed Brady and moved to New York where Brady met Samuel F. B. Morse, the earliest artist who directed the Page. Morse started a new photo art, and his friend Daegal from Europe has only just begun.

Known as the father of photojournalism, Ameriacan Mathew Brady is one of the most highly respected photographers in the 19th century. Brady is best recognized as the American Civil War and the literature of his famous portrait. He used many paid assistants to successfully capture thousands of images of the American Civil War. It is from these captured images that we gathered the most knowledge and understanding of what happened during the war. In 1863 one of the most famous three South Confederates in Bradish was arrested in Gettysburg (see Figure 2, Appendix C). Because of the exposure time, Brady can safely assume asking men to gather so that he can capture the image. In doing so, these people intuitively proposed ways for us to show how they want to portray themselves. Though these men are captives, they are still tall and happy standing, the men even placed his hand on his chest.

During the past century, ways of recording and recording war have changed with technology. The American Civil War was one of the earliest wars, mainly consisting of Mathew Brady and a team of his photographers. It was impossible to shoot the war because the technology at the time was limited. The archives of the day showed portraits of soldiers, landscapes of endless battlefields, and some reproductions. Through witnesses and drawings done by illustrators, we bring visual fights and their results to other parts of the world.
