EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white studio portrait captures the elegance and grace of Mrs. G. Bostwick, a woman of the 19th century in America. The exact date of this photograph remains unknown, but it is estimated to have been taken between 1855 and 1865. Dressed in a stunning fashion that reflects the trends of her time, Mrs. Bostwick stands confidently before the camera, showcasing her stylish attire. She wears a beautiful dress with intricate detailing and layers, accentuated by a cage crinoline underskirt that gives her skirt its voluminous shape. This fashionable choice was popular among women during this era. The photographer's skillful use of light and shadow adds depth to the image, highlighting Mrs. Bostwick's delicate features and capturing every detail with remarkable clarity on glass negatives. As we gaze upon this portrait today, we are transported back to an era when photography was still in its infancy but already capable of preserving moments for generations to come. Although much about Mrs. G. Bostwick remains shrouded in mystery - her first name or marital status remain undisclosed - one thing is certain: she exudes an air of poise and sophistication that transcends time itself. This print from the Brady Handy Collection now resides within the Library of Congress' vast archives as part of their Heritage Art collection—a testament to both Mrs. Bostwick's enduring beauty and the artistry captured by early photographers like Mathew Brady.
