EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "NAST: HEWITT CARTOON, 1886. Now Let Mayor Hewitt Prove the Power of Man over Beast" captures an American cartoon created by Thomas Nast in 1886. This thought-provoking artwork questions whether the newly elected mayor of New York, Hewitt, can control the rapacious Tammany Hall. Depicting a scene reminiscent of ancient Rome's arenas, the cartoon presents Mayor Hewitt standing confidently in a city filled with corruption and political turmoil. Symbolically adorned with laurel wreaths representing victory and power, he faces off against a menacing tiger - a symbol often associated with Tammany Hall's corrupt practices. Through biting satire and clever symbolism, Nast challenges Mayor Hewitt to prove his ability to overcome the beastly forces that have plagued New York City politics for so long. Will he be able to tame the rampant corruption within Tammany Hall? Can he restore integrity and honesty to government? This powerful image serves as both a critique of democratic party politics at that time and an invitation for viewers to question whether any leader can truly conquer such deeply entrenched systems of corruption. As we gaze upon this historic artwork from 1886 by Thomas Nast, it reminds us that even in our modern world, where political battles continue to rage on, we must always strive for leaders who possess unwavering strength and integrity in their fight against injustice.
