Hayes Family and Friends in the Library

This engraving shows President Rutherford B. Hayes, First Lady Lucy Webb Hayes, two of their children (likely Frances and Scott), and their friends enjoying an evening of entertainment in their library. This room is now the Yellow Oval Room, located on the Second Floor of the Executive Mansion. At the piano is Secretary of the Interior Carl Schurz. The engraving, possibly tinted by P. Hall Baglie, was based on a sketch by Georgie A. Davis and appeared in "Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper."
