Going Through the Form of Universal Suffrage, 1871 - A Powerful Depiction of Political Corruption and Gender Inequality
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This wood engraving by Thomas Nast, titled "Going Through the Form of Universal Suffrage, 1871" offers a striking commentary on the state of American democracy during that era. Published in Harpers Weekly on November 11th, 1871, this artwork sheds light on the rampant corruption and sexism prevalent in New York State elections. The image portrays a scene at a polling station where men and women gather to exercise their right to vote. However, it becomes evident that this act is merely symbolic as corrupt politicians manipulate the process behind closed doors. The cartoonish depiction highlights the absurdity of universal suffrage being reduced to a mere formality. Nast's illustration serves as a scathing critique of figures such as Abraham Oakey Hall, William Marcy Tweed, and Peter Barr Sweeny – notorious for their involvement in political scandals during this period. By exposing their manipulation tactics through visual satire, Nast challenges viewers to question the integrity of those entrusted with upholding democratic principles. Moreover, this wood engraving underscores gender inequality within politics by featuring both male and female voters. It reflects an ongoing struggle for equal rights faced by women at that time when they were denied full participation in public affairs. Overall, "Going Through the Form of Universal Suffrage" stands not only as an artistic masterpiece but also as a powerful reminder that true democracy
