This illustrated portrait of First Lady Lucretia Rudolph Garfield was created by the Consolidated Cigar Company. Her portrait is one in a series of printed tobacco cards featuring the images of several first ladies. After the assassination of her husband, President James Garfield, in 1881, Mrs. Garfield left the White House to return to their home in Ohio. She would eventually add a wing to the home to house his presidential papers.

This engraving depicts the scene in President James Garfield's bedroom at the White House as he struggles to recover from an assassin's bullet. Garfield was shot on July 2, 1881 inside a Washington, D.C. train station by Charles Guiteau, who had sought a position in the government and was rejected. The president succumbed to his wounds 11 weeks later. The engraving was based on sketches by Albert Berghaus and Charles Upham and first appeared in "Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper."
