The National Portrait Gallery has purchased a daguerreotype of Dolley Madison for $456,000 -- the early known photograph of a First Lady.
The National Portrait Gallery, part of the Smithsonian Institution, has purchased a daguerreotype of Dolley Madison for $456,000 — the early known photograph of a First Lady.
The photo, taken in 1846, shows Madison in a turban and part of the intrigue is because she is known for being the first First Lady of the United States. Madison is credited by historians for creating the soft-power role that is not officially codified.
