EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the stern yet thoughtful visage of Rutherford B. Hayes, the 19th President of the United States, who served from 1877 to 1881. Born on October 4, 1822, in Delaware, Ohio, Hayes was a dedicated public servant who rose through the ranks of the Republican Party, serving as a Union officer during the Civil War and later as Governor of Ohio. In this image, taken in 1877, Hayes is depicted in profile, his distinguished beard framing his angular face and deep-set eyes. The oval format of the print highlights the intricate details of Hayes's features, from the creases in his brow to the subtle textures of his beard. Hayes's presidency was marked by efforts to promote civil service reform and to address the political and social issues of the post-Reconstruction era, including the controversial removal of federal troops from the South. This period, known as the "Redemption" of the South, was a contentious time in American history, and Hayes's administration faced significant challenges in balancing the competing interests of the North and the South. Despite these challenges, Hayes remained committed to upholding the principles of the Republican Party and to preserving the unity of the nation. In 1893, he published his memoirs, "The Autobiography of Rutherford B. Hayes," which provide valuable insights into his life and his presidency. This portrait, taken just a few years into his presidency, offers a glimpse into the character and determination of a man who played a crucial role in shaping the course of American history.
