EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic moment of Charles J. Guiteau's capture after he shot President James A. Garfield at the old Baltimore & Potomac R. R. station in Washington, D. C. , on July 2,1881. The wood engraving portrays a chaotic scene filled with tension and urgency. In the foreground, we see the wounded President Garfield lying on the ground while Secretary of State James G. Blaine stands by his side, providing support and assistance during this critical time. The crowd surrounding them reflects a mix of shock, fear, and anger as they witness this shocking act of violence against their beloved leader. The artist skillfully conveys the gravity of the situation through intricate details such as facial expressions and body language. Each figure tells its own story – from Guiteau's defiant stance to Blaine's determined presence. This image serves as a haunting reminder of an event that shook America to its core: an assassination attempt that ultimately led to President Garfield's death months later due to complications from his injuries. As we gaze upon this historic wood engraving, we are transported back in time to witness one of America's darkest moments - a crime committed against democracy itself. It is a chilling testament to both human fragility and resilience in times of adversity.
