EDITORS COMMENTS
This three-quarter length portrait captures the youthful elegance and poise of Frances Folsom Cleveland, the youngest First Lady in American history. Taken by renowned photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1897, the image showcases Frances at the age of 29, standing gracefully with a demure expression, facing left. Her dress, a fashionable choice for the late 1890s, features a high neckline with a delicate decolletage adorned with intricate lace, and a full skirt that flows gently around her figure. The dress, with its long sleeves and fitted bodice, accentuates her slender silhouette and enhances her feminine allure. Frances Cleveland made history when she married President Grover Cleveland in 1886, when she was just 21 years old. This portrait, taken during her second tenure as First Lady, reflects her refined taste and the sophistication of the era. The image is a testament to the enduring legacy of Frances Cleveland, who remains an intriguing figure in American history. The photograph, taken during the 19th century, is a stunning example of the art of portrait photography. The image, with its crisp contrast and intricate detail, captures the essence of the subject and the time period. The Library of Congress, a repository of invaluable historical and cultural treasures, holds this portrait in its vast collection, making it accessible to scholars, researchers, and enthusiasts of American history and art.
