EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful cartoon print by Thomas Nast, titled "Cartoon: Tweed Ring, 1871. The Tammany Tiger Loose" serves as a scathing indictment of the corrupt political practices of William M. Tweed and his ring in New York City during the late 19th century. Published on the eve of the crucial municipal and state elections in 1871, Nast's illustration aimed to expose the rampant corruption and crime that plagued the city under Tweed's rule. The central figure in this striking image is a fearsome tiger representing Tammany Hall, symbolizing both its power and predatory nature. With sharp claws extended and teeth bared, it embodies the ruthless grip that Tweed had over politics at that time. Surrounding him are various symbols depicting corruption within his ring - from bags overflowing with money to broken chains representing their control over employers. Nast's attention to detail highlights specific individuals involved in this web of deceit, such as Marcy Magear and Boss Maul, further emphasizing their complicity in perpetuating corruption for personal gain. By portraying these figures alongside Columbia (representing America), Nast underscores how deeply rooted corruption had become within American politics. Overall, this print serves as a reminder of an important chapter in American history when political action was marred by greed and dishonesty. It stands as a testament to Nast's skillful ability to use art as a tool for social commentary while urging citizens to take action against those who abuse power for personal gain.
