Additional Details

This beautiful print is from the Col. John R. Johnston album. Johnston was a colorist and painter for the Jessie Whitehurst studios in the late 1850s, as well as a performer and singer. The family originally lived in Cincinnati and then moved to Balitmore around 1855-56. The album was put together during the mid- to late-1850s. The figure here bears a striking resemblance to the artist's wife (including her part and braids), however the model may also be fellow performer or actress.
