Alexander Gardner (October 17, 1821 - December 10, 1882) was an American photographer. He is best known for his photographs of the American Civil War and his portraits of American President Abraham Lincoln. Gardner has often had his work misattributed to Mathew Brady, and despite his considerable output, historians have tended to give Gardner less than full recognition for his documentation of the Civil War. Gardner was born in Paisley, Scotland, in 1821. Wikipedia
