EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the elegance and poise of Mrs. John Slidell, a woman of great beauty and refinement. Taken between 1855 and 1865, this image showcases the fashion trends of the mid-19th century in America. Dressed in a stunning ball gown, Mrs. Slidell exudes grace as she stands against an ornate backdrop. Her dress, meticulously crafted with intricate details, is adorned with exquisite jewelry that adds to her allure. The use of a cage crinoline or hoop skirt creates a voluminous silhouette that was fashionable during this era. The photographer behind this remarkable portrait remains unknown but their skill in capturing Mrs. Slidell's essence is evident. The glass negative used to create this print has been preserved by the Library of Congress' Brady Handy Collection. Marguerite Mathilde Deslonde, also known as Marguerite Mathilde Slidell after her marriage to John Slidell, is immortalized through this photograph - an enduring testament to her timeless beauty and style. As we gaze upon this image from the past, we are transported back to a time when fashion was artistry and elegance reigned supreme. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage that continues to inspire us today.
