FreeMr. Lincoln’s Cameraman: An Evening with Mathew Brady
Featuring Mark Holbrook, owner of “History is Personal,” Columbus
Co-sponsored by the Ohio Humanities Council Speakers Bureau
As we commemorate the 150th anniversary of the end of the American Civil War, and with it, the assassination of who many believe to be America’s greatest president, it is all together fitting and proper that we invite Abraham Lincoln’s most famous photographer Mathew Brady (aka Mark Holbrook) to tell the story of how his images of Lincoln and scenes of the war have become icons of the period. Come hear the story from Mathew Brady himself as he shares some of his photographs and the stories behind them.
