Presidental Box Photographs

[Jim Garrett]

Yes, I'm back. Nothing nefarious. Rich and I have been digging in all the dark corners for an answer. The problem is that there does not seem to be any clear identification. While Brady worked hard to insert himself into history, Gardner seems to be the preferred photographer for the government by 1864. I would think that if the War Department chose Gardner to record the hanging, and the mug shots, they would have used him for the recording of the theatre.
