When the practice photography was born in 1839, simply to perform basic and portraits images of everyday objects was a feat of epic and almost unfathomable proportions. That said, it did not take very long for full swing photographers to start experimenting with form and function.
About 80 years after the creation of crafts, Arthur Mole and John Thomas decided to develop a series that was unlike anything that had been done before. Organizing groups of US troops in iconic images that pay tribute to some of the most influential figures of our nation, both achieved an effect that is beyond impressive (even by today's standards).
Thomas was responsible for organizing the troops and recognizable images Mole was responsible for the escalation of an observation tower 80 feet and capture photos .
