Mathew Brady
Author: Robert Wilson
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1620402041
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
The first narrative biography of the Civil War's pioneering visual historian, Mathew Brady, known as the “father of American photography.” Mathew Brady's attention to detail, flair for composition, and technical mastery helped establish the photograph as a thing of value. In the 1840s and '50s, “Brady of Broadway” photographed such dignitaries as Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, Dolley Madison, Horace Greeley, the Prince of Wales, and Jenny Lind. But it was during the Civil War that Brady's photography became an epochal part of American history. The Civil War was the first war in history to leave a detailed photographic record, and Brady knew better than anyone the dual power of the camera to record and excite, to stop a moment in time and preserve it. More than ten thousand war images are attributed to the Brady studio. But as Wilson shows, while Brady himself accompanied the Union army to the first major battle at Bull Run, he was so shaken by the experience that throughout the rest of the war he rarely visited battlefields except well before or after a major battle, instead sending teams of photographers to the front. Mathew Brady is a gracefully written and beautifully illustrated biography of an American legend-a businessman, a suave promoter, a celebrated portrait artist, and, most important, a historian who chronicled America during the gravest moments of the nineteenth century.

Languages : en
Pages : 434
Book Description
Synopsis: The mighty Roman empire rules the world with an iron fist but one nation refuses to bow to the Imperial throne - little Judea -a nation of fierce independence and a monotheist religion. In the midst of these turbulent times, when history turns on its head and B.C. moves into A.D, two women find their lives molded by the intrigues and plots of royalty and clergy. Deborah, fiery and outspoken, comfortable in her birth right as the upper class of Jewish society: he, a Roman Centurion stationed at the cosmopolitan port of Caesarea, where Romans, Greeks and Jews coexist in an uneasy harmony. Joanna, conservative and traditional, from the lowly village of Emmaus, Judea; he, a powerful court official who buys her from the market to save her from a life of slavery and introduces her to the royal court of Herod Antipas. Sometimes, Fiction is needed to bring Fact to life. In the pages of this book, history is brought to life through the lives of these fictional women of substance and the irresistible charisma of one man who met them to paint a timeless story of love in a fickle, uncertain, bubble of time.
