In 1854, Mary married Victorian millionaire and textile manufacturer, Henry Isaac Butterfield.
Their son Frederick, was second cousin to Teddy Roosevelt.
The couple lived in Paris and Nice, and were extremely well connected.
❤ In 1865, Mary's portrait was beautifully painted by Roberto Bompiani and simply titled 'Mrs Butterfield'
Two years after this portrait was painted, Mary sadly passed away.
The painting is currently on loan at Bradford Museums & Galleries, but the painting's normal home is Cliffe Castle Museum.
