EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking head-and-shoulders portrait captures Fanny Bowditch Dixwell Holmes, wife of the esteemed Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., between 1890 and 1910. The photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston, showcases Fanny's elegant profile as she gazes off to the left with a thoughtful expression. Dressed in the fashion of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Fanny's high collar and intricately patterned blouse reflect the refined taste and elegance of the era. Frances Benjamin Johnston (1864-1952), a leading figure in American photography during this period, expertly captured the essence of her subjects with her exceptional skill and artistry. Born in Virginia, Johnston is best known for her extensive documentation of historic sites and buildings throughout the United States. Her work, including this portrait of Fanny Holmes, is now part of the rich collection at the Library of Congress. Fanny Bowditch Dixwell (1846-1938) was an accomplished woman in her own right, having earned a degree from the prestigious Mount Holyoke College and serving as a founding member of the Boston Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Her marriage to Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. (1841-1935), who served on the Supreme Court from 1902 until 1932, brought her into the limelight of American society. This evocative portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman who lived during a pivotal time in American history.
