Mathew Brady and the image of history

by Mary Panzer, Jeana K. Foley

This study examines how American Civil War photography constructed an idealised history through symbolic imagery. It explores the creation of a stable historical narrative and a gallery of immortal leaders during a period of intense national fragmentation.
