Another snapshot reveals President Garfield with his daughter once again, this time captured sometime between 1860 and 1875. The identity of the creator may remain elusive, but their artistry immortalizes this precious familial connection for generations to come. Mrs. James Garfield takes center stage next as she graces us with her presence in a photograph from approximately 1870 to 1880.

Garfield himself steps into focus within another enigmatic portrait taken around the same period: between 1870 and 1880. Despite being unaware of the artist behind it, we can still appreciate how they captured his charisma and leadership qualities. "It Makes Him Sick, " an illustration published by Joseph Keppler on August 18th, 1880 provides insight into public sentiment towards President Garfield during that time—a satirical commentary on political matters that continues to intrigue historians today.

Shifting gears slightly from visual arts to philately brings us to a rare artifact: a six-cent James A. Garfield proof plate block of four issued on February 22nd, 1890.
