EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of James A. Garfield's inauguration as the 20th President of the United States in 1881. Hand-colored to bring out its vibrant details, this woodcut illustration from the 19th century transports us back to a time when American heritage and tradition were at their peak. The scene unfolds on the steps of the majestic Capitol building in Washington D. C. , adorned with patriotic bunting that proudly displays America's colors. As Chief Justice Morrison R. Waite administers the oath of office, President Garfield stands tall, his hand placed firmly on a flag-draped podium symbolizing his commitment to upholding American values. Surrounded by distinguished figures such as Vice President Chester A. Arthur and Secretary of State James G. Blaine, this image encapsulates not only a significant moment in history but also showcases an era where artistry met politics seamlessly. With its rich symbolism and attention to detail, this print serves as a reminder of our nation's past achievements and aspirations for progress under President Garfield's leadership. It is an invaluable piece capturing North America's journey towards unity and prosperity during one of its most transformative periods – making it a must-have for any history enthusiast or lover of vintage Americana art.
