EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut print takes us back to a fateful moment in American history - the assassination of President James Garfield. The year was 1881, and the setting was a bustling train station in Washington DC. In this vivid illustration, we witness the tragic event that shook the nation. The scene depicts President Garfield standing on the platform, surrounded by fellow travelers and officials. Little did he know that lurking amidst this seemingly ordinary crowd was Charles Guiteau, his would-be assassin. With a pistol concealed in his hand, Guiteau took aim at the unsuspecting president. The artist's attention to detail brings this historical moment to life. From the intricately drawn architecture of the train depot to the expressions of shock and horror on people's faces, every element adds depth and emotion to this poignant artwork. As we gaze upon this vintage masterpiece from North Wind Picture Archives, we are reminded of both our nation's resilience and its vulnerability. It serves as a somber reminder that even those who hold positions of power are not immune to acts of violence. Let us reflect upon President Garfield's untimely death as we appreciate this remarkable piece of artistry from the late 19th century - an enduring testament to an era marked by tragedy and change.
