OriginalFirst Lady Frances Cleveland, wife of United States President Grover Cleveland.
Reason
There's definite grain, but it's also a pretty high-resolution scan of a fairly small print. Worked with the FA-nominator to give an excellent new featured article the picture it deserved. I do like having a good picture at the start of a featured article, don't you?
Restoration notes at file description page. If you see any issues, flag them up, I'll deal with them tomorrow. Biggest thing that might need noted is that I squared off the arched top of the image. This is because the National Portrait Gallery has a habit of cropping off the edges of cabinet cards, so it kinda needed to be cropped, and there's no background to speak of. I've noted one example of an image that exists in both forms on the file description page; there's tons of similar examples.

Wikipedia:Featured pictures/People/Political; you could argue for a few other categories, but I think this is where someone would look first.
