EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "NAST: TAMMANY TIGER. Tired of the Show. The Fate of the Tammany Tiger and his Keeper" captures a powerful political cartoon by Thomas Nast, dating back to 1875 in America. In this thought-provoking artwork, Nast depicts the arrow of Reform piercing through Tammany Hall and its prominent members. The image symbolizes a significant turning point in American politics, as it portrays the demise of corruption and deceit within Tammany Hall, a notorious political machine known for its control over New York City's government during that era. The tiger, representing Tammany Hall itself, appears worn out and defeated while its keeper stands alongside it with an expression of resignation. Nast's cartoon serves as a scathing critique on the state of affairs at that time, highlighting how political reform was necessary to bring about change and dismantle corrupt systems. By using imagery such as an arrow striking down the tiger, Nast conveys a sense of justice prevailing over dishonesty. This historical photograph print from Granger Art on Demand allows viewers to delve into America's past and witness firsthand one artist's perspective on the downfall of Tammany Hall. It serves as a reminder that even in times when corruption seems insurmountable, there is always hope for reform and progress towards more transparent governance.
