介绍（中）	早期，布雷迪给自己设定了拍摄国家领军人物的任务：总统和军人，商业领袖和舞台明星，作家和艺术家。在工作室的接待室里，每一张有标记的男人或女人的照片都吸引了新客户，并见证了"百老汇的布雷迪"的技巧，艺术和社会地位，以及保姆的品味和地位。彼得·福尔斯（Peter Force，1790-1868 年）在这里被描绘成狂野的头发和阴郁的表情，周围环绕着报纸和书籍，他在华盛顿特区成立了印刷商，在那里他很快沉浸在当地政治中，担任市议会和市议会主席，并于 1836 年至 1840 年担任市长。虽然他的政治生涯令人敬畏，但福斯最出名的是他的作品《美国档案》，他打算在1789年之前出版有关殖民地和美国历史的早期美国文件。尽管该项目在完成之前就停止了，但最终出版的九卷涵盖了 1774 年至 1776 年间，被认为是革命学者不可或缺的资源。
介绍（英）	Early on, Brady set himself the task of photographing the nation's leading figures: presidents and military men, business leaders and stars of the stage, writers and artists. Each photograph of a man or woman of mark, displayed in the studio's reception room, attracted new clients and bore witness to the skill, art, and social standing of "Brady of Broadway" as much as it did to the taste and station of the sitter. Peter Force (1790-1868), depicted here with wild hair and a somber expression, surrounded by papers and books, was established as a printer in Washington, D. C., where he quickly became immersed in local politics, serving as president of both the city council and the board of aldermen and as mayor from 1836 to 1840. Though his political career was formidable, Force was best known for his work American Archives, in which he intended to publish early American documents relating to colonial and American history through 1789. Although the project was discontinued before completion, the nine volumes ultimately published covered the years between 1774 and 1776 and are considered an indispensable resource to scholars of the Revolution.
