EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Angelica Singleton, Mrs. Abraham Van Buren, 1842 (1913)," captures the youthful and elegant countenance of Angelica Singleton, who became the youngest first lady in American history at the age of 18. Daughter-in-law of Martin Van Buren, the eighth President of the United States, Singleton assumed the role of first lady after the president's wife, Hannah Van Buren, had passed away. The image, from the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, showcases Singleton's refined and sophisticated appearance. She is adorned with a diadem, ostrich feathers, and a pearl necklace, adding to her regal and elegant demeanor. Her ringlets cascade down her shoulders, framing her face and complementing her elegant hairstyle. The photograph was taken during the 1910s, a time when the country was undergoing significant change. Singleton's portrait, however, exudes a sense of timeless beauty and elegance, transporting us back to a bygone era. The image is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Van Buren family and the rich history of the United States. The creator of this photograph remains unknown, but it is part of the Henry Inman and Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress. The glass negative captures the essence of a pivotal moment in American history and offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman who left an indelible mark on the White House.
