Garst Museum...
Mr. Lincoln’s
Cameraman: An Afternoon with Mathew Brady
Sunday, April 10, 2011 at 2:00 PM, the Garst Museum will host Mr.
Lincoln’s Cameraman: An Afternoon with Mathew Brady. A lecture and
performance by Mark Holbrook.
Mathew Brady was a world-renowned photographer in the 1850s and 60s and
his fame increased with his photographs of President Abraham Lincoln
and of the Civil War. After the war, Brady gave many lectures on his
experiences as a photographer. He often shared some of his photographs
through the use of a magic lantern, a recent invention that projected
images from glass plate photographs.
Mr. Brady, as portrayed by Mark Holbrook, will speak as if it is ten
years after the war and shares stories of Lincoln, the Civil War, and
his career.
Mark Holbrook is currently the marketing manager for the Ohio
Historical Society. He also serves as a Civil War historian when called
upon. Mark has been a Civil War reenactor for more than 15 years. He
has served from private to colonel in reenactments in 12 states, has
given numerous lectures to adults and children about the life of a
Civil War soldier, has coordinated living history events in Ohio, and
written several articles for Camp Chase Gazette, a reenacting magazine.
He is the editor of The Buckeye Vanguard, the story of the 49th Ohio
Volunteer Infantry published last November. Mark also is part of the
Echoes in Time Theatre group at the Ohio Historical Center in Columbus,
today’s program is from that series.
All lectures are free and open to the public. Support for the Garst
Lecture series comes, in part from the Ami McClurkin Community Fund
administered by the HOPE Foundation and a grant from Midmark Corp.
