United States, Photographer May 18, 1822 – January, 15, 1896.
Mathew B. Brady was one of the earliest photographers in American history, best known for his scenes of the Civil War.
No one will ever know what I went through to secure those negatives. The world can never appreciate it. It changed the whole course of my life.
I had to go. A spirit in my feet said 'Go', and I went.
My greatest aim has been to advance the art of photography and to make it what I think I have, a great and truthful medium of history.
From the first, I regarded myself as under obligation to my country to preserve the faces of its historic men and mothers.
The camera is the eye of history.
