Synopsis:

Charting the most productive years in the career of the renowned nineteenth century portrait photographer, Mary panzer shows how Mathew Brady used his images of famous contemporaries to construct a potent history of a purposeful, patriotic republic during the decades when the national identity was fragmented by the Civil war.

Review:

"This book...takes as its subject one of American photography's most revered and iconic figures [and] opens a new chapter in thinking about the portrayals of American life of the last century."
