EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures President Chester A. Arthur during his leisurely vacation in Newport, Rhode Island in 1884. The hand-colored woodcut beautifully depicts the scene of a bustling town as a coach procession makes its way through the crowded streets. President Arthur, dressed impeccably in fashionable attire and donning a top hat, sits on the coach alongside his family. The image showcases the opulent lifestyle enjoyed by the wealthy upper class during this era. Women can be seen carrying parasols to shield themselves from the summer sun while men and children line the streets to catch a glimpse of their esteemed president. Newport's picturesque seaside setting adds to the charm of this historic snapshot, with its Atlantic coast serving as an idyllic backdrop for horseback riders and pony-drawn carriages. The resort town was known for attracting America's elite during this time period, making it an ideal destination for those seeking recreation and relaxation. Preserving our rich heritage, this vintage illustration offers us a glimpse into 19th-century Eastern life along with insights into President Arthur's personal life outside of politics. It serves as a reminder that even presidents need moments of respite amidst their busy schedules. This print is not only a testament to American history but also an exquisite piece of art that transports us back to a bygone era filled with elegance and tradition.
