"Levin C. Handy: A Glimpse into History Through Captivating Portraits" Step back in time with Confederate General Jubal Early, as we admire his head-and-shoulders portrait captured between 1860 and 1870. The unknown photographer skillfully immortalized this legendary figure, leaving us captivated by his commanding presence. Traveling to Washington, D. C. , around 1880-1883, we find ourselves at Bradys Studio on Pennsylvania Ave. & 7th St. , where another mysterious artist masterfully freezes moments in time. Their lens transports us to an era long gone but not forgotten. Adoniram J. Holmes of Iowa emerges from the shadows between 1890 and 1902, a man whose story remains untold yet intriguing. We ponder over the unknown creator who expertly framed this enigmatic character's essence for eternity. Alexander Gardner's Photographic Gallery on 7th & D Street becomes our next destination as we step into the year 1863 through an anonymous photographer's lens. Here lies a treasure trove of historical significance waiting to be discovered within these hallowed walls. General Nathan Bedford Forrest beckons us closer with his piercing gaze caught sometime between 1880 and 1920 by an unidentified genius behind the camera. His legacy looms large as we contemplate the mysteries surrounding this captivating image. Moving away from military figures, Kit Carson's band gathers at Camp McKibbin in Maryland during that fateful year of 1893—a moment frozen forever by an anonymous observer who understood the power of preserving memories through photography. Intriguing titles like "Shall Old Acquaintance be Forgotten?" and "Just a friendly____" leave room for imagination as they accompany photographs taken in that same transformative year—1893—by creators lost to history but forever remembered through their artistry.
