Daniel Bendann (1836 - December 6, 1914) along with his brother David Bendann were American Civil War Era photographers known for their elegant photographic backgrounds.[1] Daniel founded their gallery, Bendann Brothers, in 1859 and it remains in the family as of 2019, considered Baltimore's oldest gallery.[1][2][3]

The brothers were born in Germany but the family moved to Richmond, Virginia where Daniel worked for the Whitehurst Studio.[2] He opened his own studio first in Richmond and later Baltimore, Maryland where he employed his brother David.[4] By the 1860s they were one of the largest photographic studios south of Philadelphia and the largest Jewish-owned studio in the country.[2]

The Bendanns had a system which they patented, whereby photographic studios could purchase negatives for their “Bendann Brothers Backgrounds” that they could use in their own photos.[5] The Bendann Brothers received a National Photographic Association Holmes Medal in 1872 for this invention.[6]

Together they took portraits of many well-known people including Edgar Allan Poe, Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, Presidents Buchanan and Hayes, and Johns Hopkins.[7][8]

David Bendann left Bendann Brothers in 1874 to open Bendann Art Galleries. Daniel stayed with the studio, retiring around 1900.[2]
