Identified on its caption card as Julia Gardiner Tyler, wife of President John Tyler, this print is a copy of an earlier daguerreotype, and the identification has not been independently verified. Julia Gardiner, about 30 years younger than Tyler, married him in June 1844 while he was still in office, and she served as First Lady until his term ended in 1845. Daguerreotypes like the original were among the first widely used photographic portraits, and this later copy preserves a record of a portrait made during the medium's early years.
