Garfield, Mrs. James - A Glimpse into the Life of a First Lady
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the late 19th century in America, capturing an intimate moment with Mrs. Lucretia Rudolph Garfield, wife of President James A. Garfield. The exact date is uncertain but falls between 1870 and 1880. Posing gracefully in her elegant attire, Lucretia Rudolph Garfield embodies the fashion trends of her time. Her dress showcases the popular cage crinoline style, accentuating her silhouette with its hooped structure beneath layers of fabric. This iconic garment was a symbol of status and femininity during this era. Seated on a chair within an unknown location, Mrs. Garfield exudes poise and grace as she gazes into the distance. The photographer behind this remarkable image remains unknown; however, their skillful composition captures both the beauty of Lucretia Rudolph Garfield and the essence of American society during that period. Preserved by glass negatives from the Brady Handy Collection at the Library of Congress, this photograph offers us a glimpse into history - not only showcasing fashion choices but also shedding light on societal norms and cultural values prevalent at that time. Lucretia Rudolph Garfield's marriage to President James A. Garfield marked her role as First Lady for just nine months before his tragic assassination in 1881. Through this mesmerizing portrait captured by Mathew B. Brady or Levin C Handy (the creator still debated), we are reminded of her significant presence alongside one of America's most influential leaders.
