1884 1980 Alice Belle Frilly Married Oval Roosevelt Theodore Longworth
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Alice Longworth Roosevelt, the elegant and witty socialite and political figure, born Alice Lee Roosevelt on February 12, 1884, in New York City. Daughter of President Theodore Roosevelt, Alice's lineage and pedigree were unparalleled. She married Nicholas Longworth, Speaker of the House of Representatives, in 1906, and became a prominent figure in Washington D.C. society. The image shows Alice in an oval portrait, dressed in a frilly, high-necked gown with intricate lace detailing. Her hair is styled in an updo, adorned with a delicate headpiece. Alice's piercing gaze and confident posture exude an air of sophistication and intelligence. Her expression suggests a woman who is both beautiful and formidable, a fitting description for this Belle of the Gilded Age. Alice Longworth was known for her sharp wit and biting sarcasm, which she used to great effect in her political commentary. She was a prolific letter writer and kept a famous "Roosevelt-Longworth List," a collection of grievances against her political enemies. Despite her sharp tongue, Alice was also a devoted mother and grandmother, and her love for her family was a constant source of joy and pride. This photograph is a testament to Alice Longworth Roosevelt's enduring legacy as a society figure, political commentator, and beloved family member. Her style, intelligence, and quick wit continue to captivate and inspire, making her an enduring icon of American history.
