Thomas Nast
In the 1860s Nast began to use Shakespearean
dramatic setting in his political and social
satire.
Nasts classic drawing of Tweed was quite
accurate except for the eyes which were made
smaller and more prominent to suggest greed,
since the painting was so accurate, Tweed was
easily realized.
His war on the corrupt Tweed ring in New York
with a steady drumfire of slashing attacks in
Harpers, finally brought about the arrest and
downfall of Tweed himself after being recognized
in Spain by one of Nasts paintings.
