By 1867, Josie had become so poverty stricken,
that she had only one presentable dress for strolling out.

Then, in November 1867, she met Jim Fisk,
a wealthy financier who was in
the habit of handing out $100 bills
to women who caught his roving eye.

Fisk certainly didn't look like a ladies' man;
Although he attracted attention, it was for all the wrong reasons.
“He was a striking figure, tall, florid, very fat,”
wrote Lloyd Morris in Incredible New York.
“His light brown hair was pomaded and carefully waved,
his mustache waxed to fine points, and huge diamonds
blazed on his frilled shirt front and pudgy fingers.”

The iconic image KALOMA, which is shown in this presentation, and is generally touted to be the image of Josie Mansfield, which it isn’t ; the identity of the woman in the KALOMA image, is revealed in this video!
