Alexander Gardner
Alexander Garder (1821-1882) was an early American pioneer of photography. He photographed Abraham Lincoln just 4 days before his assassination. In 1865 Gardner made some of the most amazing portraits that I’ve ever seen. The images below are of some of the conspirators to the assassination of president Lincoln. His use of the wet collodian process gives an incredible depth and texture to the photos. Check out the Library of Congress for more of his work here
