George Norman Barnard was a pioneering American Civil War photographer, best known for his 1866 album Photographic Views of Sherman’s Campaign, which document the landscapes, fortifications, and destruction left in the wake of General William Tecumseh Sherman’s march through the American South. Using large-format albumen prints, Barnard captured battlefields, ruined railroads, and cities such as Atlanta, Savannah, and Charleston, creating some of the most striking visual records of the war’s impact. His work is notable for its technical precision, dramatic compositions, and historical significance, positioning him as one of the leading war photographers of the 19th century. – Some light scuff marks, otherwise in near excellent condition.
