Jeremiah Gurney was Mathew Bradys primary competitor as a professional portrait
photographer during the 1850s and 1860s. The exhibition will include about 150
faithful likenesses of royalty, famous Americans, and average citizens, all drawn from
the MIAs major holdings of Gurney material. Most nineteenth-century photographic
processes are represented; daguerreotypes, cartes-de-visite, stereo cards, and cabinet
cards. A few chairs and other decorative arts objects similar to those seen in the
portraits will help provide cultural context.
