Amelia Beard Hollenback (1844-1918) was the wife of prominent financier and philanthropist John Welles Hollenback (1835-1927). In 1874, the Hollenback family settled in the modestly affluent neighborhood of Clinton Hill in Brooklyn. This nightgown, probably part of her wedding trousseau, features applied bands of embroidery and shirring that convey simultaneously a sense of boldness and delicacy.
