EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "PPRE2A-00181" takes us back to the 19th century in Ohio, United States. It showcases a young James A. Garfield, later to become the 20th President of the United States, during his boyhood days as a mule rider. The hand-colored woodcut beautifully captures this historic illustration. In this scene, we see Garfield diligently working as he tows a canal boat using animal power. His job required him to guide mules along the canal path while they pulled the boat behind them. This image provides us with a glimpse into the transportation methods of that era and highlights how crucial canals were for travel and trade. The vintage charm of this artwork transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and historical significance. It serves as a reminder of America's rich history and how individuals like Garfield played their part in shaping it. Let this remarkable piece take you on an imaginary journey through North America's waterways as you marvel at the dedication and hard work displayed by young James A. Garfield during his formative years.
