EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "NAST: TILDEN CARTOON, 1876. Still Hunt -ing" captures a moment of political satire and commentary from the year 1876. Created by renowned cartoonist Thomas Nast, this artwork mocks Samuel J. Tilden's Democratic reform efforts during the presidential election campaign. In this image, we see a man named Jon Jones engaged in what appears to be a fox-hunt with a twist. Instead of riding on horseback, he is mounted on a hobby horse, symbolizing the absurdity of Tilden's proposed reforms. The fox being hunted represents Tilden himself. With his impeccable artistic skills and sharp wit, Nast skillfully portrays the end of the Saratoga Fox-Hunt as "The End of Reform". This clever play on words suggests that Tilden's attempts at bringing about change are futile and will ultimately fail. This historical engraving provides us with valuable insights into American politics during this era. It showcases how cartoonists like Nast used their craft to influence public opinion and shape political discourse through humor and satire. As we delve into this thought-provoking piece from Granger Art on Demand, it serves as a reminder that art has always been an essential tool for social commentary throughout history – even in the realm of politics.
