EDITORS COMMENTS
The Death of President Garfield: A Glimpse into History's Tragic Moment". This photo print, titled "The Death of President Garfield" takes us back to a somber chapter in American history. Captured by an English School artist in the 19th century, it offers a poignant glimpse into the final moments of President James A. Garfield's life. The image portrays scenes from various locations associated with this tragic event – from the White House lawn to the sick chamber and executive mansion. The viewer is transported to that fateful night when President Garfield was wounded by an assassin's bullet at a railway station. As we observe this engraving, our eyes are drawn to Mrs. James A. Garfield, who stands amidst a military guard and politicians searching for answers about her husband's condition. The presence of medical professionals and their attempts to save his life are also evident. Intriguingly, we notice Professor Bell's induction balance device being used as part of the medical treatment—a testament to scientific advancements during that era. This historical artifact not only captures the gravity of President Garfield's injuries but also serves as a reminder of how fragile human health can be even for those in positions of power. Through this photo print, we gain insight into both the personal tragedy suffered by Mrs. Garfield and its impact on United States politics at that time—an indelible moment frozen forever within these sketches taken during his illness.
