EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "NAST: POWER STRUGGLE, 1881. Is There to be a Power Behind the Throne?" captures a significant moment in American political history. In this satirical cartoon by Thomas Nast for Harper's Weekly on May 14,1881, we witness an intense battle for influence over President James Garfield between Senator Roscoe Conkling and Secretary of the Treasury James G. Blaine. The image showcases two distinguished men engaged in a heated fight reminiscent of ancient Rome or Greece. Dressed in Roman togas, they symbolize power struggles that have transcended time and geography. As members of the Republican Party during this late 19th-century era, Conkling and Blaine represent different factions vying for control within their party. Nast's artistic prowess shines through as he cleverly portrays the tension between these statesmen who seek to shape President Garfield's decisions from behind the scenes. The engraving captures every detail with precision, emphasizing their determination and ambition. This historical artifact serves as a reminder that politics is not always about what happens on the surface but also about hidden agendas and power plays behind closed doors. It offers us insight into how influential figures fought tooth and nail to exert control over important decisions made at the highest level of government. Granger Art on Demand presents this piece from its collection without any commercial intent but rather as an opportunity to delve into America's rich political past through visual storytelling.
