Biography:
George N. Barnard set up one of the first daguerrrotype studios in the United States in Oswego, New York. In 1854 he moved to Syracuse and switched to the collodion process that allowed him to produce multiple prints. Barnard worked alongside Timothy O’Sullivan, John Reekie, and Alexander Gardner in the Matthew Brady Studio. He was made the official photographer for the United States Army, Division of the Mississippi in 1864 during the Civil War. He followed Union General William Tecumseh Sherman on his famous march to sea and published an album of his campaign in 1866. After the war, Barnard continued as a portraitist across the Eastern United States, eventually working with the founder of the Kodak Company, George Eastman, in Rochester, New York.
