Mathew B. Brady

Mathew B. Brady is represented in this archive by a single sheet: a wood engraving after a photograph, made for the illustrated press of the early 1860s. The print reproduces his portrait of Abraham Lincoln as published in "Harper's Weekly," linking Brady's photographic studio to the widely circulated engravings of the period. The collection's holdings from this artist thus consist of one wood engraving after a photograph, dated 1860, with impressions up to that year.
