EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Arturo Carretero depicts a pivotal moment in American history: the Proclamation of Rutherford B. Hayes as the 19th President of the United States on March 5, 1877, in the eastern portico of the Capitol building in Washington, D.C. The multitude of people gathered in the panoramic scene reflects the significance of this event, as Hayes, a Republican reformer and former Union general, was chosen to lead the nation following a contentious presidential election. Born on October 4, 1822, in Delaware, Ohio, Hayes was a Methodist and a man of strong principles who advocated for civil service reform and the end of Reconstruction. In this image, we see Hayes standing confidently in the ceremonial act, surrounded by a sea of people, including members of his cabinet and the multitude of citizens who came to witness the momentous occasion. The aerial perspective of the engraving offers an overview of the grandeur of the Capitol building and the cityscape of Washington, D.C., adding to the sense of importance and grandeur of the event. Carretero's skilled use of color further enhances the visual impact of the image, capturing the essence of this historic moment in American political history.
