EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "NAST: INFLATION CARTOON. The dead lock - and now the Democratic tiger has lost his head" by Thomas Nast in 1876 offers a thought-provoking glimpse into American political history. In this engraving, Nast portrays the Democratic party as a majestic tiger that has fallen victim to inflation. The image depicts a bear trap symbolizing the economic deadlock caused by inflation, with the Democratic tiger trapped within it. However, what stands out most is the shocking sight of the beheaded tiger, emphasizing how dire and fatal this situation has become for the party. Thomas Nast's artistic brilliance shines through in his ability to convey complex political messages through visual storytelling. Through this cartoon, he highlights how inflation can have devastating consequences on political parties and their ideologies. This historical artifact not only serves as a reminder of America's past but also prompts us to reflect on timeless issues such as finance and politics that continue to shape our society today. It is an invaluable piece of art that captures both the creativity of Thomas Nast and the turbulent times in which it was created. Granger Art on Demand brings forth this remarkable piece from their collection, allowing us to appreciate its significance and delve deeper into America's rich political heritage.
