Thanks for the interview link, Roger. I found the author's comment about the Lincoln coffin photo interesting. Mr. Pistor said that "Brady was so well-connected to the government machinery that he was able to destroy the photo or get it confiscated."

That's not quite the story that I've always heard. Was Brady really that instrumental in Stanton's order to have the photo seized?
