Nellie Grant Wedding Special, The Daily Graphic - Image 4

Two of the scenes published in The Daily Graphic depicted the bridal party train departing to New York City after the wedding and the interior of the special Pullman palace car. The Pullman car, which was originally built for the 1873 World’s Fair in Vienna, was specially refurbished to take the fashionable bridal party to New York after the wedding and was reported to have cost approximately $22,000. Nellie wore the traveling dress from her wedding trousseau on the journey to the Fifth Avenue Hotel in New York City: an olive brown skirt, a light brown long cutaway coat with embroidery, a dark straw hat, and matching brown gloves.
