GEORGE BARNARD Allatoona from the Etawah [Etowah], Albumen 10x14" ASG# GB/1012. On original album page 15.5x18.75" with printed title and printed credit Photo from nature by G.N. Barnard.

This was a page from the album Photographic Views of Sherman's Campaign that Barnard made negatives for from 1864, when he joined General Sherman in Atlanta, through 1866 when he visited some of the past Battle fields Sherman had marched through on his way to Atlanta.

George N. Barnard (1819-1902) One of the first persons to open a daguerreotype studio in the United States, George Barnard set up shop in Oswego, New York. In 1854 he moved his operation to Syracuse, New York, and began using the collodion process, a negative/positive process that allowed for multiple prints, unlike the unique daguerreotype.

Along with Timothy O'Sullivan, John Reekie, and Alexander Gardner, Barnard worked for the Matthew Brady studio and is best known for his photo-documentation of the American Civil War. In 1864 he was made the official photographer for the United States Army, Chief Engineer's Office, Division of the Mississippi. He followed Union General William Tecumseh Sherman's infamous march to the sea and in 1866 published an album of sixty-one photographs, Photographic Views of Sherman's Campaign. After the war he continued primarily as a portrait photographer in Ohio, Chicago, Charleston, South Carolina, and Rochester, New York, where he briefly worked with George Eastman, the founder of the Eastman Kodak Company.
