EDITORS COMMENTS
The caption for the print of "NAST: ELECTION, 1876. The Elephant Walks Around - And the Still Hunt is Nearly Over" could be: "This cartoon by Thomas Nast from 1876 depicts a pivotal moment in American politics during the presidential election. In this satirical artwork, we witness the Republican party symbolized by a powerful elephant trampling over their Democratic opponents Samuel J. Tilden and Thomas Hendricks. The artist's clever portrayal captures the intense competition between these political factions. As we observe John Morrissey walking away in resignation, it becomes evident that victory is within reach for the Republicans. Nast skillfully conveys this through his masterful use of caricature and symbolism. This historic image not only reflects on a specific election but also provides insight into broader themes such as power dynamics and partisanship in American democracy during that era. Preserved meticulously by Granger Art on Demand, this engraving offers us an opportunity to delve into our nation's rich political history while appreciating Nast's artistic genius.
