Checklist #355, Section 27 Death. American, 20 x 20 cm. First Brady plate in the checklist (a grep of data/photographs.csv this session returns no prior ‘Matthew Brady’ photographer row). Mathew B. Brady (the canonical spelling in 19th-century American Civil War photography literature is ‘Mathew’ with one t, though ‘Matthew’ with two ts is also widely seen; the checklist as printed uses ‘Matthew’ with two ts) is widely identified in general-knowledge American photographic history as the Civil-War-era studio operator and portraitist (1822/1823-1896); whether this specific plate is a Civil War image, a portrait, or another work is not stated by the checklist itself. The general-knowledge biographical context above is NOT re-verified against any fetched source this round and no Brady source file exists in the repo; preserved verbatim as printed.
