EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures the essence of Eliza Ballou Garfield, a remarkable woman whose life journey is beautifully depicted in this image. Seated gracefully, she exudes an air of elegance and intelligence as she engrosses herself in a book. The intricate details of her Victorian costume, complete with a bonnet, transport us back to a bygone era. Eliza Ballou Garfield holds immense significance as the mother of James Abram Garfield, who would later become the 20th President of the United States. Her influence on her son's upbringing and values cannot be understated. This portrait serves as a poignant reminder that behind every great leader lies an extraordinary parent. The artist skillfully captures Eliza's three-quarter profile, allowing us to admire her delicate features and expressive eyes. There is an undeniable sense of serenity emanating from her countenance – perhaps reflecting the strength and resilience required to raise a future president during challenging times. Published in 1905 by Hodder & Stoughton, this lithograph showcases both artistic mastery and historical significance. Preserved within private collections for years, it offers viewers a glimpse into the past while honoring Eliza Ballou Garfield's legacy. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded not only of Eliza's individual story but also how mothers throughout history have played pivotal roles in shaping our world leaders.
