EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a bust portrait of James A. Garfield, who served as the 20th President of the United States from March 4, 1881, until his tragic assassination six and a half months later on September 19, 1881. Born on November 19, 1831, in Moreland Hills, Ohio, Garfield was a distinguished military officer and a renowned Congressman before being elected to the highest office in the land. The image, dated October 5, 1881, captures the essence of Garfield's strong character and intelligence. With a stern yet thoughtful expression, he gazes off into the distance, as if contemplating the weighty responsibilities that lay before him. His military uniform, adorned with medals and insignia, symbolizes his dedication and service to his country. Garfield's presidency was marked by a number of significant accomplishments, including the appointment of the first Jewish cabinet member, the establishment of the Department of Labor, and the passage of the Chinese Exclusion Act. However, his tenure was cut short by the assassination of John Wilkes Booth's son, Charles J. Guiteau, who shot Garfield at the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Station in Washington, D.C. Despite his untimely death, Garfield's legacy as a dedicated public servant and a man of principle continues to inspire generations. This evocative portrait serves as a poignant reminder of a remarkable man who left an indelible mark on American history.
