Five marble-style busts of women who were wives of early American leaders sit side by side in this engraving, a grouping that sets it apart from portraits of single figures. The sitters are Martha Washington, Abigail Adams, Louisa Catherine Adams, Dolley Madison, and Elizabeth Hamilton, who were linked to the nation's founding generation and its early presidencies. Because the caption card gives no date, the exact year of publication is unknown. Still, the print reflects a 19th-century habit of honoring famous women as companions to great men, often in parlor and gift-book imagery.
