EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Calling In Frauds" captures an iconic American cartoon from 1875, created by the talented artist Thomas Nast. This artwork pays tribute to Secretary of the Treasury Benjamin Bristow's relentless pursuit and prosecution of members involved in the infamous Whisky Ring scandal during President Ulysses S. Grant's second term. In this thought-provoking illustration, Nast skillfully portrays the corruption and deceit that plagued America at that time. The central figure, Secretary Bristow, is depicted as a determined individual wearing a distinctive hat while holding a bag symbolizing justice and accountability. Surrounding him are barrels representing whisky, which served as a metaphor for illicit activities and fraud committed by influential individuals. Nast's powerful imagery sheds light on the political acts that tarnished America's reputation during this period. Through his artistry, he condemns these fraudulent practices and applauds Bristow for his unwavering commitment to upholding integrity within government institutions. This historical piece serves as a reminder of our nation's past struggles with corruption and highlights the importance of transparency in public office. It stands as both an artistic masterpiece and a testament to the enduring fight against crime in politics.
