Alexander Gardner's Civil War Views

FacebookTwitter

in 1866, photographer and entrepreneur Alexander Gardner published his "Photographic Sketch Book of the War," a photographic manuscript like none before, documenting America's bloodiest war. in addition to the imagery he and his photographers captured, Gardner included notes on his own recollections of the conflict and of the burgeoning field of photojournalism. the notes and tips you'll find as you explore the Civil War with Tehrkot Media come from Mr. Gardner himself and are but a snapshot of what is available in his critically acclaimed photographic tome. if you find yourself craving more, we've republished this historic masterpiece for the iPad which you can find at the link below.
