EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the elegant Kate Chase Sprague, a prominent figure in 19th century America. Taken between 1855 and 1865 by an unknown creator, this portrait captures the essence of Kate's beauty and sophistication. As the wife of Governor William Sprague of Rhode Island, she held a position of influence as a society hostess. Dressed in fashionable attire from that era, Kate exudes grace and poise. Her full-length dress with crinoline highlights her impeccable taste in fashion. The hoop skirt adds volume to her silhouette, reflecting the prevailing style of the time. The glass negative used for this photograph is part of the Brady Handy Collection housed at the Library of Congress. Mathew B. Brady, renowned for his portraits during this period, may have been involved in its creation. Kate Chase Sprague was not only known for her beauty but also for her intelligence and social acumen. She was considered a socialite and played an active role in political circles alongside her husband. This remarkable image allows us to glimpse into the life of a woman who left an indelible mark on American history through her influential connections and unwavering charm. It serves as a testament to both Kate's individuality and the evolving fashion trends during that era.
