Shown standing in right profile at half length, James A. Garfield appears here before he won the presidency, while he was still a congressman known as a scholar and a former Union general. The studio credit, Sarony of New York, points to Napoleon Sarony, a leading portrait photographer whose polished work made his studio one of the most sought-after of its day. Portraits like this one circulated widely as cartes de visite and cabinet cards, letting Americans see the faces of public men they would likely never meet in person.
