EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Wholesale and Retail" captures a moment of scandal, greed, and political satire from the pages of Harpers Weekly in September 1871. The engraving by William M. Boss Tweed depicts the corrupt leader of the Tammany Society, hugging the figure of Samuel J. Tilden, another prominent American politician. Boss Tweed's notoriety stems from his involvement in fraud and stealing public money for personal gain. This litho by Thomas Nast portrays him as a grotesque caricature, highlighting his power-brokering ways and illegal activities within the Democratic Party Political Machine. The image showcases an arresting scene where a policeman is beating a beggar while Boss Tweed embraces Tilden with an air of arrogance. It serves as a scathing commentary on corruption within American politics during that era. With its intricate details and satirical undertones, this print offers viewers a glimpse into the injustices prevalent at Tammany Hall - infamous for its graft and manipulation tactics. Now part of a private collection but available through Peter Newark American Pictures, this historical artwork continues to resonate today as it reminds us how power can be abused when left unchecked. A powerful reminder that even those who hold positions of authority are not immune to scrutiny or punishment for their actions.
