The dead of Antietam

摘要

'If our readers wish to know the horrors of the battle-field, let them go to Brady's Gallery," The New York Times advised on October 6, 1862. There, Brady exhibited a series of photographs taken by Alexander Gardner and James Gibson immediately after the Battle of Antietam. Gardner and Gibson, two of the many photographers Brady hired to document the war, produced at least 95 images at Antietam.
