One of the most celebrated war photographers and often referred to as the father of photojournalism, Mathew Brady will be always remembered in the journalism arena for documenting the American Civil War on a grand scale. In 1862, he was admired for presenting some heart-wrenching photographs of the “Battle of Antietam” in an exhibition. It is a matter of fact that this legendary photographer went bankrupt during his last days and died penniless in the charity ward of a hospital in New York.
