EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases Rutherford B. Hayes, the 19th President of the United States, during his tenure from 1877 to 1881. Depicted in the prime of his life at the age of 55, Hayes is shown with a well-groomed beard and a serious expression on his face. His attire consists of a formal suit and a crisp white shirt, reflecting the contemporary fashion of the late 19th century. Born on October 4, 1822, in Delaware, Ohio, Hayes was a Methodist and a reformer at heart. He served in the Union Army during the American Civil War and later became a prominent Republican politician. Hayes' presidency was marked by his commitment to civil service reform and the end of Reconstruction. This engraving is taken from The Spanish and American Illustration, published in 1877, and is a testament to the artistic techniques of the time. The intricate details of Hayes' facial features, the texture of his beard, and the folds of his clothing are all rendered with remarkable precision. The addition of color further enhances the visual appeal of the print, making it a valuable historical artifact. Hayes' legacy as a reformer and a president who brought the country closer to reconciliation after the Civil War continues to be celebrated in American history. This engraving offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the life of a man who played a significant role in shaping the United States during a pivotal period in its history.
