The Tiger's Prey - Tammany Peering into the City of Dreams,
EDITORS COMMENTS
September 17, 1913 This illustration, published in Puck magazine on September 17, 1913, depicts a powerful and enigmatic tiger named Tammany, poised on the edge of a bluff overlooking the New York City skyline. The tiger, labeled with the moniker of the infamous political boss Tammany Hall, gazes intently at the city, its reflection shimmering in the tranquil waters of the river separating them. The metropolis, bathed in the soft glow of the moon and city lights, presents itself as an alluring and irresistible prey to the wild beast. The image, created in 1913, was a commentary on the power and influence of Tammany Hall, a political machine that dominated New York City's political landscape during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The tiger's presence symbolizes the raw power and unchecked ambition that characterized the organization, while the city represents the ultimate prize to be won through cunning and manipulation. The illustration's use of contrasting elements, such as the wild and untamed tiger versus the orderly and modern city, adds to its intrigue and captivates the viewer's imagination. The image has stood the test of time, remaining a fascinating glimpse into the political climate of New York City over a century ago.
