An amazing collection. Look through them, you'll hear yourself saying "oh, that one."
This, however, is one I'd never seen:
Federal Dead on the Field of Battle of First Day, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania; Mathew Brady, 1863
One of the earliest war photographs, this sobering look at the war ravaging America remains one of the most important war images of all time.
*****
We have seen the photo above numerous times and are not sure it should be on the list in the first place - there are more intense examples to remind us of what war really is and what it really costs.
