Profile
Mathew Brady was born in 1823, near Lake George, New York. He opened his first daguerreotype studio in New York City in 1844 and photographed many famous people of his day. Brady hired a staff of photographers to document the American Civil War, but the project--though it resulted in the most iconic images of the conflict--ruined him financially. Brady died in a charity ward in 1896.© 2013 A+E Networks. All rights reserved.
