Adam was born in Virginia in 1840, He opened a studio in Lynchburg in 1877, and was for many years the community's leading photographer. Today he is known best for his collection of portraits of Confederate Army officers, many of which are on permanent exhibition at the Valentine Museum in Richmond. In 1866, Plecker photographed Robert E. Lee astride his horse Traveller, and the portrait was on a penny post card.
These photographs really really are enticing. The choices made (depth of field) is just amazing. Some may view these as boring but I see so much craftsmanship. I think of the whole idea of actually "Making" photographs versus taking them. Just look at each one for more than 30 seconds and write down what you feel, see,etc... It is awesome
