EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Mrs. R. B. Hayes, the esteemed wife of President Hayes, taken between 1870 and 1880. The creator of this remarkable portrait remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to this historical gem. In this image, Mrs. R. B. Hayes exudes elegance and grace as she poses for the camera in her exquisite attire from the late 19th century. Her clothing dress reflects the fashion trends of that era, highlighting her impeccable taste and style. As First Lady during her husband's presidency, Lucy Ware Webb Hayes earned the nickname "Lemonade Lucy" due to her advocacy for temperance and prohibition movements in America at that time. However, beyond her public persona lies a woman who played a significant role in shaping American history alongside President Rutherford B. Hayes. The glass negatives used to capture this photograph were preserved by the Library of Congress' Congressional Library collection, ensuring its longevity for generations to come. This portrait offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when photography was still emerging as an art form and serves as a testament to Mrs. R. B. Hayes' enduring legacy as one of America's influential first ladies. With every detail captured flawlessly by Mathew Brady or his associates from the Brady Handy Collection, we are transported back in time to witness not only fashion trends but also witness history being made through one extraordinary woman's eyes - Lucy Webb Hayes.
