EDITORS COMMENTS
The caption for the print of "NAST: TILDEN CARTOON, 1876. An Aggressive Still Hunt" could be: "This satirical cartoon by Thomas Nast from 1876 mocks Samuel J. Tilden's fear of Boss Tweed and his involvement with Tammany Hall. Depicting Governor Tilden as a determined hound on the scent, it symbolizes his relentless pursuit of the corrupt members of the Ring. With great attention to detail, Nast portrays Tilden following them patiently, secretly, and diligently. The image captures the tense political atmosphere during the presidential election campaign of 1876 in America. As a prominent candidate representing the Democratic Party, Tilden faced criticism and suspicion due to his association with Tammany Hall and its notorious leader Boss Tweed. In this caricature, Boss Tweed is portrayed as a menacing tiger while Governor Tilden is depicted as a man with dog-like qualities chasing after him. The use of animals adds an element of humor to convey both fear and determination. This engraving by Granger Art on Demand showcases Nast's skillful ability to capture complex political dynamics through visual satire. It serves as a reminder that even powerful figures can be pursued relentlessly when their actions are deemed questionable or corrupt. "
