EDITORS COMMENTS
Frances Cleveland, Daughter of Deference: Defying Critics with Grace and Beauty Frances Clara Folsom Cleveland (1864-1947), the enchanting and resilient wife of President Grover Cleveland, is captured in this timeless photograph taken during his second term in office from 1893 to 1897. The image, dating back to the late 19th century, showcases the unwavering elegance and poise of the First Lady, who defied the harsh criticism of a political adversary who infamously declared, 'I detest him so much, I don't even think his wife is beautiful!' Born in Buffalo, New York, Frances met Grover Cleveland when she was just 21 years old and he was 49. Their marriage, which took place in the White House in 1886, was the first and only presidential marriage to span two non-consecutive terms. Despite the initial skepticism and criticism, Frances quickly endeared herself to the American people with her intelligence, grace, and charm. The photograph captures the essence of a woman who, despite the challenges and controversies that came with being the First Lady, continued to embody the ideals of beauty, elegance, and strength. Frances Cleveland's story is a testament to her resilience and the enduring power of love and grace in the face of adversity. This image, taken during the Gilded Age, offers a glimpse into the history of American politics and the role of the First Lady in shaping the public's perception of the presidency. The photograph serves as a reminder of the indomitable spirit of Frances Cleveland and her ability to rise above the criticism and defy expectations, leaving a lasting legacy as one of the most beloved First Ladies in American history.
