EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white wood engraving takes us back to a sunny summer day in 1877, capturing the essence of President Rutherford B. Hayes at a Rhode Island clam bake. The image showcases the 19th President of the United States amidst a lively gathering near Providence's Rocky Point. President Hayes stands tall, his late top hat adding an air of sophistication to his presence. Surrounded by men dressed in their finest attire, he exudes authority and leadership as he engages with fellow attendees. This snapshot from history offers a glimpse into the life of one of America's most influential figures. The scene is filled with anticipation as guests eagerly await their share of delectable seafood delicacies that lie before them: clams fresh from North Atlantic waters, succulent mollusks ready for consumption. The aroma must have been tantalizing as people gathered around tables adorned with steaming dishes. This wood engraving captures not only the president but also highlights elements such as unity and enjoyment shared among citizens during this festive occasion. It serves as a reminder that even leaders need moments to unwind and connect with their constituents. Preserved within this print is an important piece of American history - an intimate moment frozen in time when President Hayes partook in this quintessentially New England tradition, celebrating both regional cuisine and camaraderie amongst Americans from all walks of life.
