EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "NAST: ELECTION, 1876. Hen (dricks)-Pecked" captures a powerful political cartoon by Thomas Nast from 1876. In this intriguing artwork, presidential running mates Samuel J. Tilden and Thomas Hendricks are depicted as hen-pecked husbands nursing their inflation rag baby. This cartoon serves as a satirical commentary on the state of American politics during that time period. The image portrays Tilden and Hendricks in domestic roles typically associated with women, highlighting their perceived weakness or lack of control over important issues like inflation. Nast's clever use of symbolism is evident through the depiction of an inflated rag doll representing the issue at hand - inflation. By showing these men nurturing and caring for the doll, Nast suggests that they are not capable of effectively addressing or solving this problem. The cartoon also touches upon gender norms and expectations by portraying these prominent politicians in traditionally feminine roles. This cross-dressing element adds another layer to Nast's critique, challenging societal notions about masculinity and power dynamics within politics. Overall, this thought-provoking artwork offers insight into the complexities of late 19th-century American elections while showcasing Nast's talent for using visual satire to convey political messages.
