EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Mrs. George B. McClellan, the wife of General George B. McClellan, between 1855 and 1865. The creator of this remarkable portrait remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to the image. Mrs. McClellan exudes elegance and poise as she stands before the camera in her exquisite fashion clothing from the 19th century. Her dress is a testament to the era's style, featuring a cage crinoline that creates a voluminous silhouette with its hooped structure underneath layers of petticoats. The photograph captures not only Mrs. McClellan's beauty but also provides us with a glimpse into history itself. It is housed within the Congressional Library, preserved for generations to come. As we gaze upon this stunning portrait, we can't help but wonder about Mrs. McClellan's life during such tumultuous times in America's past - a time marked by war and social change. The photographer Mathew Brady was renowned for his ability to capture both famous figures and ordinary people alike through his lens, immortalizing them in glass negatives like this one. Although much about Mrs. McClellan remains shrouded in mystery, her presence in this photograph speaks volumes about her role as a supportive wife during her husband's military career. Through Heritage Images' preservation efforts, we are fortunate enough to witness this timeless piece of history that allows us to connect with those who came before us while marveling at their grace and resilience captured on film.
