EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "NAST: TILDEN CARTOON, 1876. A Box Stew; or, an Enviable Position" captures a powerful political satire by Thomas Nast in 1876. The cartoon depicts Samuel Tilden, the Democratic candidate for U. S. President at the time, alongside William Magear Tweed, famously known as Boss Tweed of Tammany Hall. In this thought-provoking image, Nast criticizes Tilden's association with Tweed and his corrupt practices. The caption reads: "Usufructuary Tilden: 'William, we would miss you - until I am in the White House. ' (Hard on Tweed)". This quote suggests that Tilden is using Tweed's influence to further his own political ambitions. Nast's skillful engraving highlights the stark contrast between these two figures – one representing power and corruption while the other seeks to attain it through questionable means. By portraying them inside a box labeled "A Box Stew". Nast cleverly alludes to their entangled relationship and implies that they are stewing in their own deceit. This historical artifact offers valuable insight into American politics during this era and serves as a reminder of the importance of integrity and transparency in leadership. Granger Art on Demand has preserved this significant piece from 1876 for us to reflect upon its message today.
