Gardner had left Brady's firm a few years prior but at that point was the government's favorite photographer. Brady had been relegated to studio portraiture. Thanks.

Rich,

On what day were the photographs of Ford's taken? I seem to recall just recently coming across some information that seemed to confirm it was in fact Brady (or more likely someone from his studio) that took the photos at Ford's. I was in the process of some other work and didn't make notation on what I found. Now I'm trying to retrace my steps but can't seem to find what I'm looking for. The date of the photo may help me.
