Tragedy at Washington
This wood engraving was published in 1881 and titled "Tragedy at Washington - The Night-Watch Before the Executive Mansion," referring to the vigil that took place as President James Garfield slowly died due to an assassination attempt. Although Garfield was shot on July 2, he did not die until September 19th, an eleven week ordeal that stretched out as the country waited for news.
