American photographs of the boxer rising

Abstract

American experience in photographing war was, by 1900, arguably the most developed in the Western world. The Crimean War and the American Civil War were almost contemporary events but the British and the French sent only a handful of photographers to the Crimea while the Civil War was covered by hundreds of photographers from the most celebrated such as Brady, Barnard and Gardner to those anonymous tin-type photographers who made a living on the fringes of the devastation of war. The French experience was varied and interesting with some important photographs being taken in the Franco-Prussian war and the Mexican war.
