The Courier announces exclusive rights to a famous Civil War photograph series. The wartime images, recovered with War Department aid, form a priceless collection tied to the national Civil War anniversary and are now available at the newspaper office for prompt applicants.
A portrait of Matthew Brady as the first war photographer who followed the Civil War front with his camera. The article traces his sacrifice, the lost negatives later recovered, and the national effort to assemble an authenticated, fully described collection that preserves the war’s visual history.
A promotional offer explains that a sixteenth section of Brady Civil War photographs is available through Elson’s history and a Courier coupon. Readers are urged to mail ten cents plus three cents postage to receive the portfolio, with July 1863 scenes including Gettysburg and Vicksburg.
