This wood engraving from 1888 captures a pivotal moment in American history - the publication of bulletins on the condition of President Garfield outside the New York Herald office. The image exudes a sense of urgency and importance, as people gather around to read the latest updates on the president's health.
President Garfield's assassination attempt in 1881 shocked the nation, and his subsequent battle for survival captured headlines across the country. This illustration serves as a poignant reminder of that tumultuous time, when Americans anxiously awaited news of their leader's fate.
The intricate details in this historical illustration transport us back to a bygone era, where newspapers were king and breaking news was disseminated through printed bulletins. The scene is bustling with activity, with men and women eagerly absorbing every word written about President Garfield.
As we gaze upon this print, we can't help but feel a sense of connection to those who lived through this turbulent period in American history.
