1877 Audience Birchard Hayes Lobby Off Ice Politics Room Rutherford Waiting Influence Lobbyist Seek

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "OFFICE-SEEKERS, 1877" takes us back in time to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the bustling lobby of the White House. The image showcases a diverse crowd eagerly awaiting their turn for an audience with newly inaugurated President Rutherford B. Hayes. The line engraving from 1877 captures the essence of American politics during this era, where individuals sought influence and power through political appointments. These office-seekers, or lobbyists as we now know them, were determined to secure positions within the government by presenting their cases directly to President Hayes. The room is filled with anticipation as men from all walks of life gather together in hopes of making connections and advancing their careers. Birchard Hayes himself can be seen at the center of attention, surrounded by eager faces vying for his attention. This historical artwork not only provides insight into the political landscape of America but also serves as a reminder that lobbying has long been an integral part of our democratic system. It offers a fascinating window into how politics operated in those times and highlights how much things have changed over the years. Granger Art on Demand's "OFFICE-SEEKERS, 1877" allows us to appreciate both the artistic beauty and historical significance captured within this remarkable line engraving from over a century ago.
