Juliette Gordon Low
Before she was organizing cookie sales and camping trips, Juliette Gordon Low was a high-society belle captured here in all her Gilded Age glory. This portrait by Edward Hughes shows her in a shimmering, floral-patterned pink gown, looking poised and elegant against a dramatic, cloudy sky. It’s a fascinating glimpse into the life of the future founder of the Girl Scouts of the USA, long before she traded these fancy dresses for khaki uniforms and outdoor adventures. She holds a fan and a fluffy white accessory, looking every bit the Victorian lady.
