EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late Nineteenth Century, capturing the grandeur of Tammany Hall, the infamous headquarters of the Tammany Society or Columbian Order. Standing tall in all its architectural splendor, this building symbolizes an era marked by corruption and scandal in New York City's political landscape. Tammany Hall served as a stronghold for a corrupt political machine that wielded immense power from 1789 until the 1960s. The members of this society were notorious for their manipulation and exploitation of democratic processes, using their influence to control elections and secure lucrative positions for themselves. This photograph captures Tammany Hall at its zenith, showcasing its dominance over industrial politics during this tumultuous period. The image evokes a sense of intrigue as we ponder the secrets hidden within those walls - secret meetings, backroom deals, and illicit activities that shaped New York City's history. It serves as a reminder of how power can be abused when left unchecked. As we gaze upon this historical artifact captured by FPG/Getty Images, we are transported to an era where corruption was rampant but also sparked significant reforms in American politics. This photograph stands as a testament to our collective past and reminds us never to forget the lessons learned from such dark chapters in our nation's history.
