George N. Barnard :photographer of Sherman's campaign

George N. Barnard (1819-1902) was one of the most important photographers in nineteenth-century America. While best known for his powerful Civil War photographs, Barnard had a long and productive career that provides an unparalleled cross-section of the formative years of American photography. Barnard's interests as a picture-maker were uniquely varied. His 1853 daguerreotypes of a dramatic mill fire in Oswego, New York, are among the first news photographs ever made. He was also an early advocate of the use of photography for artistic and expressive purposes. His 1866 album, "Photographic Views of Sherman's Campaign, has long been recognized as a documentary and artistic landmark in the history of photography.
