Title
English: Portrait of Julia Rochester, Seattle, 1893
Description
English:

Julia Gwynn Smith (1860-1931) was born in Missouri and came to Seattle in 1889 with her husband, George A. C. Rochester (1855-1929), a prominent lawyer, judge, and Librarian of the Seattle Public Library from 1907. An accomplished vocalist, Julia Rochester organized the Capitol Hill Unit of the Music and Art Foundation and represented the Ladies' Musical Club of Seattle at the 1893 Chicago World Fair. Their daughter, Mary Louise Roderick (1890-1970), was also a singer, decorated by the French government for entertaining troops in France during World War I. This portrait of Julia Rochester appears to have been taken around the time of her performance at the 1893 Chicago World Fair. The Western Union telegram mounted with the photograph was sent to Julia from George congratulating her on her performance at the Fair.
