About
Why this artist matters now
Alexander Gardner was a Scottish photographer active in the mid-19th century, working in albumen print and wet collodion processes. He produced large-format landscapes and portraits marked by technical precision, documenting both urban and rural subjects during photography's formative decades. His practice exemplified the exacting standards of early photographic practice.
