EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Mrs. Grover Cleveland and Cabinet Ladies," was captured by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1897. The image showcases a group portrait of Frances Folsom Cleveland, the youngest First Lady in American history at 21, and the wives, sister, or daughter of cabinet secretaries. Seated next to the First Lady is Agnes Park Thomas Olney, wife of Richard Olney, the Secretary of State. Other distinguished women in the photograph include Mary Jane Goodson Carlisle, wife of John G. Carlisle, the Secretary of the Treasury; Juliet Kinney Lamont, wife of Daniel S. Lamont, the Secretary of War; Olive (Olivia) Scobey Harmon, wife of Judson Harmon, the Postmaster General; Nannie Judson Huntington Wilson, wife of William Lyne Wilson, the Secretary of the Navy; Leila Herbert, daughter of Hilary A. Herbert; Jane Perry Francis, wife of David R. Francis, the Attorney General; and Emma Morton, sister of Julius Sterling Morton. The photograph was taken inside the White House, with the women gathered around a fireplace adorned with intricate Native American basketwork. The monochrome image, likely a cyanotype, transports us back to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the lives of these influential women during a pivotal time in American history. Frances Benjamin Johnston's masterful composition and captivating use of light and shadow make this photograph a remarkable piece of heritage art.
