EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Clara Barton, an iconic figure in American history. The image captures her essence as a pioneering nurse and the founder of the Red Cross. Taken by renowned photographer Mathew B. Brady around 1866, this oil-over-photograph portrait exudes elegance and strength. Seated gracefully, Clara Barton gazes directly at the camera with determination in her eyes. Her attire reflects both fashion trends of the time and her professional role as a nurse during the Civil War era. She wears a stylish dress that emphasizes her status as a woman of influence, while gloves add an air of sophistication to her ensemble. Clara Barton's contribution to society cannot be overstated. As one of America's first nurses, she played a vital role in caring for wounded soldiers on the battlefield during the Civil War. Her dedication to humanitarian work led to the establishment of the Red Cross in America, which continues its lifesaving efforts today. This print serves as a powerful reminder of Clara Barton's legacy and impact on healthcare and philanthropy in America. It encapsulates not only her physical appearance but also symbolizes resilience and compassion—a testament to her unwavering commitment to serving others.
