Carl Caspar Giers (April 28, 1828 – May 24, 1877) was a German-born American photographer active primarily in Nashville, Tennessee, in the mid-19th century. In documenting Nashville's rapid postwar growth and expansion, he photographed numerous prominent individuals, including political leaders, Civil War generals, and important business and cultural figures. A popular resident of the city, he served one term in the Tennessee House of Representatives (1874–1875), having been the nominee of both the Democratic and Republican parties. Giers was the adopted father of Otto Giers (1858–1940), who continued the family trade into the 20th century. (en) |
