This hand-colored halftone print takes us back to a significant moment in American history. The image showcases the solemn ceremony of Chester Arthur taking the Inaugural Oath at his residence in New York City, following the tragic death of President Garfield in 1881. The vintage illustration transports us to that pivotal day, capturing the essence of this historic event. As we gaze upon it, we witness an important chapter unfolding before our eyes. The atmosphere is filled with both sorrow and hope as Vice President Arthur assumes the role of President, stepping into a position he never anticipated. In this snapshot from the past, we see Chester Arthur standing tall and resolute, holding a bible in one hand while raising his other hand to take the oath of office. His home serves as an intimate backdrop for this momentous occasion, emphasizing the significance and gravity of his new responsibilities. This image not only offers a glimpse into 19th-century America but also provides insight into how government functions during times of transition.

As we reflect on this piece from North Wind Picture Archives, let it serve as a reminder that history has shaped our present reality.
