EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait print captures the enigmatic figure of Charles Julius Guiteau, taken on July 4,1881. Guiteau was an American assassin and author who gained infamy for his role in the assassination of President James A. Garfield. The photograph, captured by renowned photographer Charles Milton Bell, showcases Guiteau's stern expression and piercing gaze. In this striking image, Guiteau is seen seated at a gateleg table in what appears to be a scholarly setting. The furniture surrounding him exudes an air of intellectualism and education. As a lawyer himself, it is fitting that he would be depicted in such an environment. Guiteau's face bears the weight of his actions - a man whose name became synonymous with crime and treachery. His oval-shaped portrait adds to the intensity of his presence within the frame. This photograph serves as both a historical document and a testament to Bell's skillful photography. It offers us a glimpse into the life of one of America's most notorious criminals during the late 19th century. As we contemplate this image, we are reminded not only of Guiteau's dark legacy but also of our fascination with individuals who walk on society's fringes. Through Bell's lens, we are invited to delve deeper into the complex psyche behind this infamous figure from America's past.
