EDITORS COMMENTS
This mezzotint print, created in 1882 by the talented American artist John Sartain, depicts Eliza Ballou Garfield (1801-1888), the remarkable mother of President James A. Garfield. The image showcases a moment frozen in time, as Eliza sits gracefully in her old-fashioned bonnet and is engrossed in reading a book. Eliza Ballou Garfield holds immense significance not only as the mother of a president but also for her own contributions to society. As an active member of the Republican Party during the late 19th century, she played an influential role in shaping America's political landscape. The engraving beautifully captures Eliza's dignified presence and intellectual pursuits. Her wise eyes reflect years of wisdom and experience, while her poised posture exudes strength and resilience. It is evident that she was a woman ahead of her time. John Sartain skillfully employs mezzotint techniques to create depth and texture within this artwork. The intricate details bring life to every line etched on paper, making it feel almost tangible. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from the 1880s, we are reminded of Eliza Ballou Garfield's indelible mark on American history. This print serves as both a tribute to an extraordinary woman and a testament to the power of knowledge and determination that can shape generations to come.
