or lucy hayes her husband rutherford b. hayes came into office quite controversially in 1877, but first of all, i just want to point out. you know, she appears on the scene 84 years before mrs. kennedy, and she was really the first first lady to have an interest in history genealogy antiques in in looking back at america's history. she had visited the philadelphia centennial exposition in 1876 and was very influenced by that and when she got into the white house she consulted with a old friend of the hayes into her spoffard who was then serving as the librarian of congress to try to decide what in what ways could they have the white house better? vote the history of the past which up to that point hadn't really been highlighted and one of the the plans that they came up with was commissioning portraits of former first, ladies and presidents that hadn't that were not represented and that was the vast majority at that point. there was very little fine art in the house. even when mrs. hayes came in so you see in the slide two
