Description du livre Softcover. Etat : new. Captain A J Russell did not photograph celebrities run fashionable photo galleries or publish collections of his views most histories of American photography can barely stretch his biographical data into a paragraph His peers and superiors recognized the quality of his works but as with other unassuming photographs of the Civil War many of his pictures were later attributed to Brady Yet he is unquestionably a major figure in 10thcentury American photography a pioneer in every sense he was one of the only two or three official Civil War photographers perhaps the only one who was also a soldier after the war he headed west to become the official photographer of the Union Pacific Railroad as it breached the frontierRussells frontier photographs came to be better known than those he took as engineerphotographer with the elite Railroad Construction Corps attached to General Grants Military Railroad These early experiences in military photography however aside from their contribution to phototechnological development prove Russell a remarkable camera artist Here reproduced from one of the few surviving scrapbooks of his photographs are 116 rare prints many never before published restoring a largely forgotten artist to an audience ready to appreciate himRussells duty included recording the activities of the crucial Railroad Corps as it helped move the Union Army through Virginia At the same time he witnessed and chronicled the campaigns of Fredericksburg Petersburg Brandy and Alexandria and was there to photograph Richmond in ruins He documents not only tracks bridges depots and engines of war but surrounding scenes Bull Run Meades headquarters at Culpepper and Brandy burying the dead after the battles of the Wilderness and Spotsylvania Court House Lees residence at Arlington Fort Hell and Fort Damnation Libby Prison in Richmond the Smithsonian Institution the Capitol and a heretofore unseen photograph of Lincolns funeral carThe fullpage panoramas capture the wastage of war that so shocked the civilian public when first exposed to photographs of battles There are also aesthetic shots landscapes such as that as Great Falls on the Potomac which offer relief New captions and a Preface fill in historical biographical bibliographical and photographic detail This collection of views by a professional military photographer perhaps the very first in his profession is an archive of engineering triumphs and human loss students of the Civil War will discover views unseen in the standard works while lovers of photography will rediscover in Russell an early master of the art.
