EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Alexander Gardner's Photographic Gallery located at 7th & D Street, NW in Washington, D. C. around 1863. The image showcases the exterior of the building, displaying a variety of signs that highlight the services offered by Gardner's gallery. The signboard proudly advertises "Gardners Gallery; Views of the (American Civil) War; Cartes de Visite; Stereographs; Album Cards; Imperial Photographers; Plain, Coloured & Retouched; Ambrotypes; Hallotypes; Ivory Types". Alexander Gardner was a renowned photographer who had previously worked for Mathew B. Brady before establishing his own portrait studio in 1862. This photograph provides a glimpse into his successful venture as an independent photographer during this period. The architectural details of the building are visible, including an awning and sun blinds that add character to its facade. The corner location allows for ample natural light to illuminate both sides of the shopfront windows. This historic image is part of the Brady-Handy Collection housed in the Library of Congress and serves as a testament to Gardner's contribution to American photography during the nineteenth century. It offers viewers a window into not only his gallery but also into Washington D. C. 's bustling streetscape at that time. As we admire this still image captured over a century ago, it reminds us of how photography has evolved while preserving moments from our past for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
