unbound. Woodcut. Page measures 15 3/4" x 11" A full page political cartoon from the cover of the November 1, 1873 edition of Harper's Magazine. The illustration features Irish-American politician John Morrissey, a bare-knuckle boxing champion and professional gambler whose political career was backed by Tammany Hall. He served as New York Congressman from 1867-1871, before falling out with the Tammany political machine and serving as New York State Senator from 1876-1878 on an anti-Tammany platform. He was a key figure in the fall of Tammany Hall, testifying against William Tweed in a case that ultimately led to Tweed's incarceration. This cartoon depicts Morrissey addressing personifications of major newsprints. Nast is satirizing the domination of brute force over intellect in politics at the time. Minor wear to margins. Thomas Nast was a political cartoonist and illustrator; credited with devising elephant and donkey symbols of Republican and Democratic parties, and with creating American image of Santa Claus. He largely featured Catholicism and the papacy in Rome, Irish-Americans, and corrupt Democratic politicians (namely Boss Tweed and the Tammany Hall institution). This is a great example of his work.

unbound. Print. Page measures 16" x 11.25". This political cartoon depicts a flattened New York politician, James G. Blaine, on the ground beside an elephant labeled "G.O.P. N.Y.". A barrel nearby reads "Platt's Great Political Circus", referring to Thomas C. Platt's political machine and his role as the de facto leader of the New York Republican party in 1887. Following a democratic sweep at the 1887 New York State elections, Blaine, previously a contender for the 1888 Presidential nomination, lost hope of continuing and left for a trip to Europe with is family. Text on the verso points out that New York elections tend to be indicative of national politics, and that the Republican party needs a more popular candidate than Blaine for a chance to stay in power. Published on the front page of Harper's Weekly on November 19, 1887. Image in good condition, with chips to margins.
