EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken on January 9, 1882, captures a moment in time with President James A. Garfield and his beloved family. The image beautifully depicts a domestic scene, as Garfield sits in a comfortable chair, surrounded by his wife Lucretia Rudolph Garfield and their six children: Irving, Harry, James, Elizabeth, Ada, and Ruth. The family's warm expressions and close proximity to one another radiate a sense of happiness and contentment. James A. Garfield, the 20th President of the United States, served in office from March 4, 1881, until his tragic assassination by Charles J. Guiteau on July 2, 1881. Prior to his presidency, Garfield had a distinguished military career, serving in the Civil War and rising to the rank of Major General. He also held various political offices, including a term in the House of Representatives. Despite his short tenure as President, Garfield left a lasting impact on American history. He advocated for civil service reform and worked to reduce the influence of political bosses in government. Tragically, his presidency was cut short by the assassination, leaving his family to grieve and carry on his legacy. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the personal side of a public figure, offering a glimpse into the life of a President and his family during a time when the presidency was still a relatively new institution. The image's enduring charm and historical significance make it a cherished piece of American history.
