EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Shooting of President Garfield" takes us back to a significant moment in American history. Created by Henry Alexander Ogden, this print captures the intense atmosphere surrounding the attempted assassination of President James A. Garfield. The image showcases the chaos and panic that ensued after Charles J. Guiteau fired two shots at the president on July 2,1881. The artist masterfully depicts the scene with meticulous detail, allowing us to witness the immediate aftermath of this shocking event. President Garfield is shown lying wounded on a train station platform while concerned onlookers gather around him. The faces in the crowd reflect fear, disbelief, and anguish as they realize their leader's life hangs in the balance. This lithograph was originally created as an illustration for "History of Our Country" by Edwards Ellis and published around 1900. It serves as a powerful reminder of America's resilience during times of adversity. As we gaze upon this historical artwork today, it prompts us to reflect on how far our nation has come since those tumultuous days. It also reminds us of the importance of strong leadership and unity in overcoming challenges that threaten our democracy. Preserved within private collections and made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, this lithograph offers viewers a glimpse into one pivotal moment that forever shaped American history.
