EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print titled "NAST: TWEED's DOWNFALL" takes us back to the year 1871 in America, where political corruption was rampant. The image depicts a cartoon by the renowned artist Thomas Nast, who used his artistry as a weapon against injustice. In this particular piece, Nast focuses on the downfall of William M.
