RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia
Ok, coloring cheeks according to this article dates farther back than I thought:
"Tinting an image was popular early on in the history of antique images, especially in the early 1860s. The most common type of tinting was a pinking of the cheeks to give the face a little healthy color. You will see pink cheeks on ambrotypes, cdvs, and tintypes." http://www.ebay.com/gds/Pink-Cheeks-Tint...086/g.html So one might have to look for an earlier First Lady. The lady in the photo looks 20 or younger. Mary McElroy (born in 1841)? |
