EDITORS COMMENTS
The 1876 political cartoon by Thomas Nast titled "NAST: TILDEN CARTOON" captures the critical perspective on Governor Samuel J. Tilden's management of labor and money during his presidential campaign. The image portrays Tilden as a gaunt and hungry wolf, representing the Democratic Party, while a goat symbolizing labor stands before him. This print from Granger Art on Demand showcases Nast's satirical style and his ability to convey complex political messages through visual imagery. In this cartoon, Nast highlights the perceived negative impact of Tilden's policies on both labor and finance. The emaciated appearance of the wolf suggests that under Tilden's leadership, the Democratic Party was failing to adequately address the needs of workers or effectively manage economic matters. By juxtaposing the wolf with a mountain goat representing labor, Nast implies that Tilden's administration was preying upon hardworking individuals for its own benefit. This engraving is not only a historical artifact but also an insightful commentary on American politics in the late 19th century. It reflects concerns about corruption within Tammany Hall, a powerful New York City political organization associated with Tilden at that time. Overall, this print serves as an important reminder of how art can be used to critique politicians and shed light on societal issues. Its inclusion in Granger Art on Demand allows viewers to appreciate Nast's artistic talent while gaining insight into past elections and their impact on American society.
