EDITORS COMMENTS
Mrs. Frances F. Cleveland and ladies of the cabinet, Jan. 4, 1897," was captured by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston. The image showcases a group portrait of Mrs. Frances Cleveland, also known as Frances Folsom Cleveland, the wife of President Grover Cleveland, and the ladies of his second cabinet: Miss Morton, Nannie H. Wilson, Olive Harmon, Jane P. Francis, M.J. Carlisle, Juliet K. Lamont, Agnes P. Olney, and Leila Herbert. The photograph was taken during the Victorian era in the late 1890s, at a time when women's roles in politics were beginning to evolve. Mrs. Cleveland, who was the youngest First Lady in U.S. history at the age of 27 when she married President Cleveland in 1886, was an influential figure in her own right. Her presence in the White House during her husband's second term further solidified her status as a trailblazer for women in politics. The ladies in the photograph, all dressed in elegant Victorian attire, are seated around a table in a spacious room, likely in the White House. Their confident and poised expressions convey a sense of importance and authority. The photograph is a testament to the significant role these women played in the political landscape of the United States during the late 19th century. This photograph is a valuable historical artifact, providing a glimpse into the lives of the women who supported and influenced the President during his time in office. It is a reminder of the important contributions women have made to American politics and society throughout history." Frances Benjamin Johnston (1864-1952) was a prolific American photographer known for her documentation of historic sites and buildings, as well as her portraits of prominent figures. This photograph is part of the collections at the Library of Congress, and is a testament to her skill as a photographer and her ability to capture the essence of her subjects.
