EDITORS COMMENTS
The 1872 political cartoon titled "NAST: CORRUPTION" captures the prevalent issue of corruption within the American judiciary system. Created by renowned artist Thomas Nast, this engraving vividly portrays a corrupt judiciary on the bench. The central figure personifies Justice, who stands tall and determined amidst chaos and deceit. In the image, Justice raises her sword high above her head, symbolizing her commitment to upholding truth and fairness. Surrounding her are late 19th-century men representing various aspects of political corruption in America. These individuals can be seen pushing and shoving each other, desperately vying for power and influence within the courts. Nast's powerful imagery highlights how deeply rooted corruption had become in American politics during this time period. By depicting these corrupt figures falling from grace while Justice remains steadfast, he emphasizes that justice will prevail over dishonesty. This print serves as a reminder of the importance of integrity within our judicial system. It prompts viewers to reflect on past struggles with corruption while encouraging them to remain vigilant against similar threats today. Granger Art on Demand has preserved this historical artwork by Granger NYC / The Granger Collection for future generations to appreciate its significance in exposing political misconduct and advocating for transparency within our courts.
