Janin, Albert
Albert Covington Janin (1844-1928) was a New Orleans attorney and business entrepreneur. Violet Blair (1848-1933) was a socialite from a prominent Washington, DC family. The two married in 1874 and had a highly unconventional marriage for the times. They generally lived in separate places without a shared household, and remained financially independent from one another. For more information about Janin and Blair, see Virginia Jeans Laas's research, especially her book Love and Power in the Nineteenth Century: The Marriage of Violet Blair.
