介绍（中）	1865年4月9日，邦联将军罗伯特·E·李在弗吉尼亚州阿波马托克斯法院向联邦将军尤利西斯·S·格兰特投降。内战结束了。如果不是完整的话，这个国家至少重新统一了，重建的缓慢复苏可能会开始。当他听说李离开阿波马托克斯回到里士满时，马修·B·布雷迪带着他的摄像设备前往那里。李家的富兰克林街住宅在大火中幸存下来，大火摧毁了城市的许多商业区。1865年4月16日，在林肯总统遇刺两天后，由于李夫人和一位邦联上校的好意，布雷迪获准为这位将军拍照。布雷迪在自己的后廊上画的李将军拿着帽子的肖像，是最具反思性和思想性的战时肖像之一。这位58岁的邦联英雄身着投降时穿的制服。这将是布雷迪最后一张战时照片。
介绍（英）	Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered his army to Union General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House, Virginia, on April 9, 1865. The Civil War was over. If not whole, the nation was at least reunited, and the slow recovery of Reconstruction could begin. As soon as he heard that Lee had left Appomattox and returned to Richmond, Mathew B. Brady headed there with his camera equipment. The Lees’ Franklin Street residence had survived the fires that had devastated many of the commercial sections of the city. Through the kindness of Mrs. Lee and a Confederate colonel, Brady received permission to photograph the general on April 16, 1865, just two days after President Lincoln’s assassination. Brady’s portrait of General Lee holding his hat, on his own back porch, is one of the most reflective and thoughtful wartime likenesses. The fifty-eight-year-old Confederate hero poses in the uniform he had worn at the surrender. It would be Brady’s last wartime photograph.
