Collection: Brady-Handy Collection. The L.C. Handy Studio had been located at 494 Maryland Avenue SW, Washington, DC. Levin C. Handy (1855?-1932) was apprenticed at the age of twelve to his uncle, famed Civil War photographer Mathew B. Brady (1823?-1896). Handy became an independent photographer and over the years owned studios in partnership with Samuel Chester and with Chester and Brady. The Maryland Avenue studio was the most permanent and was the place where Levin Handy resided at his death in 1932. In the 1890s Brady himself had worked and lived at the Maryland Avenue address. E. and H.T. Anthony acquired Brady’s Civil War negatives as payment for his debt to that photographic supply company.
Proudly made in the USA, this canvas print arrives ready to hang. All of our canvas prints are gallery-wrapped, i.e. the canvas image is hand-stretched over a sturdy wood frame and stapled on rear for permanent mounting. The heavy-duty frame is made with 1.5-inch wood cross bars throughout, creating a striking three-dimensional piece of artwork. See sample pictures above for more detail.
