Daughters of America; or, Women of the century
Daughters of America; or, Women of the Century is a collective biography of American women compiled by Phebe A. Hanaford and published in Augusta, Maine, in 1883 for a general reading audience. Its pictures are plain steel-engraved style portraits of women, each captioned with name and title, showing period dress, lace collars, and hairstyles that a designer could use as reference for nineteenth-century costume and formal portrait composition.
