This print presents an escutcheon, or heraldic shield, associated with James A. Garfield, the 20th president, whose name appears in the title. Its catalog record dates it to about 1880, the year Garfield won the Republican nomination and then the presidential election, and it was registered with the U.S. Copyright Office. Printed heraldic devices like this were popular in the 19th century, when shields and emblems were used to honor public figures and to signal family or civic identity. The record also links the print to the Forbes Co. through an unverified shelflist card, so the printer's details should be checked against other sources.
