Present Occupant: The Fraternal Order of Police Present Use: Private restaurant and bar. Si oni fie :ance: This small Italianate commercial building is a fine example of pre-Civil War commercial Washington architecture. This building served as one of the first photographic studios in the City of Washington, being put to that use in 1850. From 1358-1831, it housed the National Photographic Art Gallery and the studio of the world renowned photographer Mathew B. Brady. Brady is remembered for his photo- graphs of the Civil War and the many portraits he took of famous personages of that era. PART I. HISTORICAL INFORMATION A. Phyical History: 1. Date of erection: It is not possible to pinpoint the exact date of construction for this building. The Corporation of Washington Tax Books record a significant increase in value of improvements from $3,800.00 in 1854 to $7,500.00 in 1855. Prior to 1854 the value of im- provements remains relatively constant as far back as the' mid-1830's, when the Tax Books are too unclear to interpret accurately. Stylistically, the two street facades represent different eras.

  • Mathew Brady Essay
    Essential Civil War Curriculum | Carol M. Johnson, Matthew B. Brady | August 2015 Mathew B. Brady By Carol M. Johnson Mathew Brady is arguably one of the most important American photographers of the nineteenth century. His iconic photographs provide an in-depth view of the Civil War and the personalities involved, giving us a better understanding of the conflict. He was born circa 1823 to Andrew and Julia Brady, Irish emigrants who settled in Warren County, New York, located in the Adirondack Mountains. Very little documentation exists about his early life. Brady professed to have studied painting under the portrait artist William Page in Albany, New York, when he was in his teens. By 1839, Brady had moved to New York City. He may have worked as a clerk for the A. T. Stewart dry goods store before opening his own business. In 1843, Brady began manufacturing leather cases used to house miniature paintings and daguerreotypes, the earliest commercial form of photography. 1 In the spring of 1844, Brady opened his first daguerreian studio on lower Broadway, an area popular with photographers. When visitors entered his gallery, they were surrounded by samples of Brady’s work, especially portraits of the famous individuals who had sat for his camera. Those wishing to have their portrait made would ascend to the studio, one floor above the gallery. Brady hired an operator to work the camera, while he posed the sitters. Brady charged more for his portraits than most of his competitors, catering to the upper class. Artists, political figures, writers, actors, and actresses frequented his studio and often had at least two portraits made—one to keep for themselves and one to display in Brady’s gallery.

  • Lincoln on Battlefield of Antietam, Maryland, Alexander Gardner
    J. Paul Getty Museum Education Department Exploring Photographs Information and Questions for Teaching Lincoln on Battlefield of Antietam, Maryland, Alexander Gardner Lincoln on Battlefield of Antietam, Maryland Alexander Gardner American, Maryland, October 2, 1862 Albumen print 8 5/8 x 7 3/4 in. 84.XM.482.1 Twenty-six thousand soldiers were killed or wounded in the Battle of Antietam on September 17, 1862, after which Confederate General Robert E. Lee was forced to retreat to Virginia. Just two weeks after the victory, President and Commander- in-Chief Abraham Lincoln conferred with General McClernand (at the right) and Allan Pinkerton, Chief of the nascent Secret Service (on the left), who had organized espionage missions behind Confederate lines. Lincoln stands tall, front and center in his stovepipe hat, his erect and commanding posture emphasized by the tent pole that seems to be an extension of his spine. The other men stand slightly apart in deference to their leader. Both McClernand and Pinkerton have a hand tucked inside their coats, a conventional pose in portraiture. The reclining figure of the man at left in the background and the shirt hanging from the tree are a reminder that, although this is a formally posed picture, Lincoln's presence did not halt the camp's activity, and no attempts were made to isolate him from the ordinary circumstances surrounding the continuing military conflict. About the Artist Alexander Gardner (American, 1821–1882) As an idealistic young reporter and newspaper editor in Glasgow, Scotland, Alexander Gardner dreamed of forming a semi-socialistic colony somewhere in what he thought of as the unspoiled wilderness of America.

  • BIOGRAPHIES John Antrobus
    BIOGRAPHIES John Antrobus (1837–1907): Sculptor and painter of portraits, landscapes, and genre scenes (showing everyday life). Antrobus was born in England but came to Philadelphia in 1850. During his travels through the American West and Mexico, he worked as a portraitist before opening a studio in New Orleans. He served briefly with the Confederate Army during the Civil War before moving to Chicago. Antrobus sculpted both Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas and was the first artist to paint a portrait of Ulysses S. Grant (in 1863). Edward Atkinson (1827–1905): American political leader and economist who began his political career as a Republican supporter of the Free Soil movement. Atkinson fought slavery before the Civil War by helping escaped slaves and raising money for John Brown. After the Civil War, in 1886, Atkinson campaigned for future President Grover Cleveland and worked against imperialism (the movement to expand a nation’s territorial rule by annexing territory outside of the main country) after the Spanish-American War. Baker & Co (active, 19th century): Lithography firm associated with Louis Kurz. Thomas Ball (1819–1911): American sculptor who gained recognition for his small busts before creating more monumental sculptures. Notable works include one of the first statues portraying Abraham Lincoln as the Great Emancipator (1876), paid for by donations from freed slaves and African American Union veterans, which stands in Washington D.C.’s Lincoln Park. Ball also created a heroic equestrian statue of George Washington for the Boston Public Garden (1860–1864). He joined an expatriate community in Italy, where he received many commissions for portrait busts, cemetery memorials, and heroic bronze statues.

Anthony (Firm); E. and H.T. Anthony (Firm); J. Gurney & Son; J.D. Fowler and Co. (Firm) BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH David A. Kent, the donor of this collection, was born in 1941 in Norwood, MA. He attended the University of Florida and Arizona State University and received his Master of Fine Arts degree from Yale University in 1975. He taught photojournalism in the School of Communications at the University of Miami from 1971 to 1992, including courses in the history of photography. This involvement professionally with historical photographs complemented his personal interest in early photographs and photographic processes and formats. The carte-de-visite as a social phenomenon was of particular interest to Kent. He was also interested Mathew B. Brady as an entrepreneur and as a catalyst for the work of great Civil War photographers such as Alexander Gardner and Timothy O’Sullivan, whose photographs Kent greatly admires. Edward and Henry T. Anthony were prominent publishers of stereographs in New York City. Edward Anthony began the firm in 1859, and took his brother Henry into partnership in 1862.

  • Lincoln and Photography: a Closer Look Compiled by the National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution
    Lincoln and Photography: A Closer Look Compiled by the National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution Target Grade Level: 4–12 in United States history classes Objectives After completing this lesson, students will be better able to: • Identify and analyze key components of a portrait and relate visual elements to relevant historical context and significance. • Compare the characteristics of two portraits that share similar subject matter, historical periods, or cultural context. • Communicate effectively with a variety of audiences and for different purposes. Portraits Abraham Lincoln By Mathew Brady Salted-paper print, February 27, 1860 National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution NPG.96.179 Link >> Abraham Lincoln By Alexander Gardner Albumen silver print, 1865 National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution NPG.81.M1 Link >> Background Information for Teachers Mathew Brady Photograph Mathew Brady photographed Abraham Lincoln on February 27, 1860, mere hours before Lincoln delivered his Cooper Union address. This salted-paper print was skillfully retouched by Brady to give Lincoln a softer, younger appearance. Brady also adjusted Lincoln’s collar to make him appear to have a shorter neck. Since the image was a photograph and easily reproducible, this portrait of Lincoln was sold to several newspapers covering the election. Artists at Harper’s Weekly used the print to create a full-page woodcut telling the story of Lincoln’s success in the election. Frank Leslie’s Illustrated Weekly also used the image as an illustration. Lincoln received the Republican nomination and was voted president. He gave credit for the portrait and speech, saying “Brady and the Cooper Institute made me President.” Alexander Gardner Photograph Alexander Gardner’s albumen silver print of Abraham Lincoln is one of the last formal photographs taken of the president before his assassination in 1865.
