Trade paperback. Zustand: Good. xiii, [1], 368, [2] pages. Illustrations [cover stated 350 photographs]. Index of Negative Numbers. Bibliography. Roy Meredith was born on 18 April 1908 in the USA. He was a writer and producer, known for The American Civil War: A Pictorial History Through the Photographs of Mathew B. Brady (1959), The Lone Ranger: A Cartoon (1936) and Little Orphan Annie: A Cartoon (1934). Mr. Meredith was the author of 12 books, including ''Mr. Lincoln's Camera Man: Matthew B. Brady'' (1946), a biography of the man who was internationally famous as a photographer, and ''The Face of Robert E. Lee in Life and Legend.'' Mr. Meredith also wrote books about Fort Sumter and about Andersonville, the Confederate prisoner- of-war camp. He produced a television film series on the Civil War. Mathew Brady, one of the foremost early American photographers and one of the earliest war photographers, was "official photographer" for the Union Army in the Civil War. With his assistants and his horse-drawn photographic wagon, Brady accompanied the troops and recorded the war firsthand. His war pictures are among the greatest war photographs ever taken, and constitute a prized pictorial record of American history. A photographer much in demand by statesmen and celebrities, Brady amassed a gallery of distinguished portraits. Most famous of these is the "Brady Lincoln," the photograph used for the engraving of the Lincoln head on the five-dollar bill. There are even photographs of Brady himself. But the heart of the book is the Civil War photographs: Battle Smoke, Union Wounded at Fredericksburg, Burnside's Bridge over the Antietam, Death of a Rebel Sniper, Remains of the Dead at Chancellorsville, Embalming Surgeon at Work, Atlanta Ga. Just After Its Capture, and others. Meredith's text tells the story behind many of the photographs and gives a lively account of Brady's life and times. In this Dover edition almost all the photographic prints have been reproduced directly from negatives and photographs on file at the Library of Congress they are sharper and clearer than the reproductions in the first edition; numbers for all negatives are now included a great boon to Brady picture research; and corrections have been made in the attributions of some of the photographs. Mr. Lincoln's Camera Man: Mathew B. Brady by Roy Meredith (originally 1946, reprinted by Dover Publications) is the first full biography of the famous Civil War photographer, combining over 300-400 photographs with a detailed narrative of his life. It documents Brady's work as the official photographer of the Union Army, showcasing dramatic, firsthand battle scenes and portraits of major figures. The book serves as an illustrated, firsthand visual archive, including images like Battle Smoke, Union Wounded at Fredericksburg, and the famous Brady Lincoln ($5 bill). It portrays how Brady's "Whatizzits" (wagon-based portable darkrooms) brought the stark reality of the Civil War to the public, significantly impacting abolitionist sentiment and supporting the U.S. Sanitary Commission. Meredith explores Brady's rise to fame, his determination to document the war despite financial ruin, and his personal life. The Dover edition corrected attribution errors and used clearer prints from the Library of Congress. This work is considered essential for Civil War historians, collectors, and photography enthusiasts. Second Edition Revised [stated]. Presumed first printing thus.…
