«Breaking News» Artist turns American Civil War photographers' portraits into colour

Incredible images from the American Civil War have been brought back to life in a series of startling colour animations.

The photographs taken by the esteemed 19th-century American photographer Mathew Brady on his four lens camera would have allowed him to take more pictures and stay ahead of the competition. 

Photographer Matt Loughrey, from Ireland, spent hours examining a catologue of Brady's negatives, that had originally been dismissed as duplicates, to discover that there were minute difference between each set of four. 

Mr Loughrey colourised the images before overlaying them to create the impression of movement. 

Now brought back to life, the fascinating images from the America Civil War (1861-1865) reveal the subtle movements made in each shot by each one of the historical figures Brady was able to picture.  

Abraham Lincoln (left) was pictured by Mathew Brady in a statesman-like pose before the Civil War broke out. The photograph helped paint an image of him as a future contender for the Oval Office before he finally became the 16th President in 1861. Cavalry Commander George Armstrong Custer (right), was a prominent figure in the Union army who became known for his foolhardy characteristics. He entered the Civil War as a second lieutenant before leading the Michigan Cavalry Brigade.  

Photographer Mathew Brady's (left) original images would appear as four photographs (right) on one glass negative and had been dismissed as negatives. However it soon became apparent to photographer Matt Loughrey that the duplicates were in  fact ever so slightly different

Mr Loughrey, who couldn't believe his discovery of Brady's work, finally completed the project around three months ago. 

He said: 'It took days to colourise them. 

'In my opinion, Mathew Brady is one of the greatest photographers from the 19th century and when you look at his photographs they are phenomenal.

'Brady didn't take the images to animate them. They were a time building exercise and made to look like he had taken lots of pictures at once.'

After John Wilkes Booth shot Abraham Lincoln in 1865,  Sergeant Boston Corbett (left) was sent to capture the assassin and bring him to justice. He later found Booth inside a barn and decided to shot him in the neck. Anna Surratt (right) was the daughter of Mary Surratt- one of the co-conspirators involved in Lincoln's assassination. After his death her mother was convicted of being part of the conspiracy to kill the President and hanged

General James Garfield (left) was made 20th U.S. president in 1881. He died in the same year after he was shot by an assassin. During the Civil War, General Garfield fought for the Union and went on to represent his home state in the U.S. House of Representatives. James Hepburn Campbell (right) was US congressman and delegate to the 1844 Whig National Convention. After the Civil War broke out he also joined the Union war effort. He was appointed as United States Minister to Sweden in 1864 by President Lincoln 

In 1845, photographer Mathew Brady, who owned a portrait studio in New York,  started to take pictures of well established figures in society including Edgar Allan Poe, and James Fenimore Cooper.

When the American Civil War broke out in 1861, the esteemed photographer decided to capture the war's impact through photography and became a pivotal figure war photography and in capturing generals involved in the American Civil War.

Among his famous pieces were his portraits of American President Abraham Lincoln before his nomination for the Republican Party candidate in 1861 and Cavalry Commander George Armstrong Custer.

The portrait, which captured the President in a statesman-like pose before the Civil War, helped present him as a future contender for the Oval Office. 

William Tecumseh Sherman (left) was made colonel of the 13th United States Infantry at the outbreak of the Civil War. He remained a soldier until the war was over and moved up to the rank of lieutenant general. General Ambrose Burnside (right), born in Indiana in 1824, is best known for being the major general of the Union army in the Civil War

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
