Photography & The Civil War

[Frank W. Baker]

A new exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, “Photography and the American Civil War,” is reviewed in the New York TImes. Of note, the 1860's was " a time when photography and political history intersected and inextricably fused."  13 images are part of a multimedia slideshow.  (See also my lesson plan on the manipulation of images, which focuses on one of the images that is also part of this exhibit.)
