EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of Mary Todd Lincoln, the enigmatic wife of one of America's greatest presidents. Taken during the early years of Abraham Lincoln's presidency, around 1863, the photograph offers a glimpse into the private world of the First Lady. Mary Todd Lincoln is depicted in a simple yet elegant dress, her hands delicately folded in her lap, and a thoughtful expression on her face. Her piercing gaze seems to suggest a woman of depth and complexity, far removed from the stereotypical image of a submissive First Lady. Mary Todd Lincoln was known for her strong personality and her influence on her husband's political career. She was a passionate supporter of the abolitionist cause and played a crucial role in shaping her husband's stance on slavery. However, her outspokenness and unconventional behavior often put her at odds with the rigid social norms of the time. Despite her controversial reputation, this portrait reveals a more intimate side of Mary Todd Lincoln. The soft lighting and the subtle details of her clothing suggest a tender and introspective moment, as if the photographer had captured her in a moment of quiet reflection. The portrait also serves as a poignant reminder of the human side of the Lincoln White House, a time of great turmoil and change in American history. This photograph, now available as a print from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique and intriguing glimpse into the life of Mary Todd Lincoln, a woman who continues to fascinate and inspire generations of Americans.
