NAST - TWEED's DOWNFALL

EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful and iconic cartoon print by Thomas Nast that captures the dramatic downfall of William M. Boss Tweed in the New York City and State elections of 1871. This historic artwork serves as a scathing commentary on corruption, political acts, and the notorious Tweed Ring. In this image, Nast skillfully depicts Tweed as a fallen statesman, his once towering influence crumbling around him. The artist portrays Tweed with disheveled hair and a defeated expression, symbolizing his loss of power and control. Surrounding him are symbols of corruption and crime, such as bags overflowing with money labeled "Tammany" representing the infamous Tammany Hall political machine. Nast's meticulous attention to detail highlights the extent of Tweed's wrongdoing. From the names Marcy Magear to America Crime Ring inscribed on various objects scattered throughout the scene, each element represents another facet of corruption within Tweed's empire. This print not only showcases Nast's artistic prowess but also serves as an important historical document shedding light on one of America's most notorious cases of political corruption. It reminds us that even those who seem untouchable can be brought down by justice and public outcry. "The Granger Collection" presents this significant piece from their collection without any commercial intentions but rather to preserve history through art for future generations to appreciate its profound impact on American politics during this era.
