Mrs. Thomas Brewster Coolidge — Chester (Charles) Harding

Clarissa Baldwin (1791-1841) wears the fashionable costume, with ermine-lined silk taffeta cape and ostrich-plumed hat, that she probably wore in 1827 to the cornerstone ceremony for the monument commemorating the Battle of Bunker Hill. Her brother was the civil engineer for the project.
