Janet Gould was called "the Duchess" because of her regal bearing and her many contributions to her city, her state and their history.
Photos show Gould in the attire of a well-dressed woman of the early 19th Century. She wore this costume when she spoke to different organizations, as she often did.
Her black dress was marked by a delicate pattern. She wore the mantilla in her hair that supported a black lace scarf. Her arms carried golden bracelets that jangled when she gestured as often happened during her talks.
