EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a solemn moment in American history - the transfer of Ulysses S. Grant's coffin from the corridor of City Hall, New York City, to the catafalque on August 8th, 1885. The image is a contemporary wood engraving that beautifully depicts this significant event. In this scene, we witness a late afternoon in bustling New York City as people gather outside City Hall. The street is filled with an air of reverence and respect as citizens pay their final respects to the late President Grant. The artist skillfully portrays the somber atmosphere through intricate details and shading. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the casket itself, draped in an American flag and carefully carried by a group of individuals towards its final resting place on the catafalque. This symbolic journey represents not only Grant's physical transition but also his legacy as one of America's most prominent leaders. As we observe this historic moment frozen in time, it serves as a reminder of Grant's immense impact on our nation during his presidency from 1869 to 1877. A Republican and military hero known for leading Union forces during the Civil War, Grant left an indelible mark on America's history. This powerful wood engraving allows us to reflect upon both Grant's life and death while honoring his contributions to our great nation. It stands as a testament to his enduring legacy and reminds us all of our duty to remember those who have shaped our country into what it is today
