EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "LINCOLN AND GARFIELD" takes us back to a somber period in American history. The memorial card, created around 1881, pays tribute to two assassinated presidents, Abraham Lincoln and James Garfield. The image is a poignant montage that combines an illustration of the late presidents with a photograph of their portraits. In this composition, we see Lincoln's iconic bearded face alongside Garfield's dignified countenance. Their presence evokes both admiration for their leadership and sadness for their untimely deaths. The memorial card features symbolic elements that further enhance its significance. A delicate flower rests at the bottom corner, symbolizing remembrance and mourning for these fallen leaders. Adjacent to it is a horseshoe, traditionally associated with good luck but here serving as a reminder of the tragic circumstances surrounding their assassinations. Granger Art on Demand has beautifully preserved this historical artifact from NYC's Granger Collection. This print invites us to reflect upon the immense impact these men had on shaping our nation while reminding us of the fragility of democracy. As we gaze upon this artwork, let us honor not only Lincoln and Garfield but also all those who have sacrificed in service to our country throughout history – reminding ourselves of the resilience that defines America even in times of great adversity.
