| Thomas Nast's illustration for this original wood engraving, "The Elephant Walks Around - And the Still Hunt is Nearly Over" is printed on nineteenth century wove paper as published for Harper‘s Weekly (Journal of Civilization), by Harper & Brothers, New York on October 28, 1876. In this satire Nast takes aim at Samuel Tilden, Rutherford Hayes & the scandal that occurred during the 23rd American Presidential election of 1876, as well as the alleged political corruption which forced the Compromise of 1877. Although the Democratic nominee, Samuel J. Tilden led the vote against his opponent, the Republican candidate, Rutherford B. Hayes was elected as the 19th president of the United States. This Image depicts a huge elephant (a symbol for the Republican Party), with Uncle Sam, laying on its head watching the procession. The text on the American Flag reads; "The Republican Vote, Solid Union". There are school children in a kiosk placed on the back of the elephant that has a political banner referring to Rutherford Hayes' fight for better education in public schools, it reads; "The Public Schools & The ABC of our Republic". In this scene, Nast's elephant is crushing a two human headed tiger (Nast's symbol for the Corrupt Tammany Ring). The tiger's head to the right represents Samuel Tilden, and the one on the left is Thomas Andrews Hendricks, the Indiana Republican candidate for the 'Vice Presidency'. And lastly, The gentleman walking away from the scene is John Morrissey, Samuel Tilden's long time political backer. Morrissey was a heavyweight champion prize fighter, gambler and Democratic politician backed by Tammany Hall. The Elephant Walks Around - And the Still Hunt is Nearly Over (Samuel Tilden vs Rutherford Hayes), is a fine, original example of the historical art created by the 19th century American artist, Thomas Nast. |

| Note: | Thomas Nast: Born in Landau, Bavaria, Germany in 1840, Thomas Nast immigrated with his family to America in 1846 at the age of six and settled in New York City. Thomas Nast began work as a full time illustrator at the age of fifteen for Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper. Three years later, Nast contributed his first illustration to Harper's Weekly (1859). That same year, Thomas Nast was hired by the New York Illustrated News and sent to England. During that time, he worked as a war artist following the progress of the Italian war with Giuseppe Garibaldi's army and provided illustrations for the New York Illustrated News and the London Illustrated News. In 1861, Nast returned to New York and in 1862, he began his legendary association with Harper’s, just in time for the outbreak of the American Civil War! The first artist to unreservedly defend the rights of Slaves, Nast launched a series of satirical attacks in his art against the decadent South and its inhumane culture. His political propaganda was so successful in inspiring Union patriotism by humiliating and denigrating the Confederate cause that it prompted none other than President Lincoln to term Nast, “Our best recruiting sergeant.” Throughout his career, Thomas Nast continued his fight for civil rights and the suppression of exploitation, intimidation & violence against African americans, Native Americans, Chinese Americans and immigrants from other countries. He was also a major force in the campaign against political corruption and coercion. In all probability, no man’s art has had a greater social and political impact than that of Thomas Nast. His symbols are with us to this day. He invented the Republican elephant and the Democratic donkey and even our modern day celebration of Christmas and the rotund figure of Santa Claus is due to his art. Thus, through his important art, Thomas Nast influenced the political and social consciousness of 19th century America. He made his last engraving for Harper’s Weekly in 1886. Ending a glorious twenty-five year association. His life came to a close while serving as the American Consul-General in Ecuador. "The Elephant Walks Around - And the Still Hunt is Nearly Over" depicts a huge elephant (Nast's symbol for the Republican party), crushing the two headed Tammany tiger (Nast's symbol for the corrupt Democratic party). The presidential candidates for the 1876 Presidential Election were Samuel Tilden and Rutherford Hayes. This is a fine original example of Nast's political satire. |
| The Elephant Walks Around - And the Still Hunt is Nearly Over (Samuel Tilden vs Rutherford Hayes in the 1876 Presidential Election): "The Elephant Walks Around - And the Still Hunt is Nearly Over" is a political cartoon created by Thomas Nast for Harper's Weekly, New York. It deals with the 23rd American Presidential election of 1876 and alleged political corruption in the White House. 'The Republican candidate, Rutherford B. Hayes was elected as the 19th president of the United States after the 'Compromise of 1877'. Due to allegations of fraud, Congress was forced to established an electoral commission, later known as the 'Compromise of 1877'. A committee of the two houses (Democrats & Republicans), was formed and given the power to elect the presidential winner after the dispute was settled. A series of compromises were made and although the Democratic candidate, Samuel Jones Tilden led the popular vote, the presidency was given to the Republican candidate, Rutherford Hayes. After the election, many Democrats were still dissatisfied with the results and on May of 1878 Congress established another commission. This one was referred to as the 'Potter Commission' or the 'Potter Committee Investigation', chaired by Clarkson D. Potter, a Democrat from New York. In the end, nothing was proven and the investigation was concluded in favor of the Republicans. In this Thomas Nast's satire, the central figure is a huge elephant (a symbol for the Republican Party), with Uncle Sam laying on his head watching the procession. The text on the American Flag reads; "The Republican Vote, Solid Union". There are school children in a kiosk placed on the back of the elephant that has a political banner referring to Rutherford Hayes' fight for better education in public schools, it reads; "The Public Schools & The ABC of our Republic". All of Thomas Nast's illustrations are rich with symbolism, and in this scene, Nast's elephant is crushing a two human headed tiger (Nast's symbol for the Corrupt Tammany Ring). The tiger's head to the right represents, Samuel J. Tilden of New York, who was the Democratic candidate that led the popular vote and lost the presidential election. Nast believed he was not as clean as he claimed, thus the association with the Tammany tiger. The tiger' head to the left is Thomas Andrews Hendricks (1819-1885), an American politician and the Indiana Democratic candidate for the 'Vice Presidency' who also lost that election. However, Hendricks did run for Vice President again in the 1884 election and won, only to die a few months later. The gentleman in the top hat that is walking away from the scene is John Morrissey (1831-1878), the long time political backer of Samuel Tilden. John Morrissey was a heavyweight champion prize fighter and gambler who also served as a member of the United States House of Representatives (1867-1871). John Morrissey is said to have been a member of the Troy gang, the gangs of New York, as well as the Tammany ring. Morrissey was backed by Tammany Hall, an organization based in New York which was considered to be the Democratic Party political machine, headed by William 'Boss' Tweed. | |
| Samuel Jones Tilden (1814-1886), ran a successful legal practice as a corporate lawyer in New York. Throughout his political career, he held many important positions that allowed him to fight corruption within the government. In 1872, Samuel Tilden took a leading part in the impeachment of corrupt judges working under the support of Tammany Hall. This victory and other attacks against dishonest politicians and corrupt government officials gained him a reputation as an honest reformer. In 1874, he was nominated by the Democratic Party as governor of New York and was elected as the 25th governor of that State. During his term as governor, Tilden was responsible for many reforms and improvements to the State, one major alteration was the demise of the 'Canal Ring', a group of fraudulent contractors who managed to fleece the City of New York for repairs and improvements to the State's canal system. In 1876, The year Nast created the illustration for this original engraving, Samuel J. Tilden, backed by John Morrissey, was the unsuccessful nominee for the Democratic party in the scandalous 23rd American presidential election. After the election, in an attempt to implicate Tilden in sordid political affairs, he was accused of corruption and bribery. Although these accusations were disproved and cleared him of any wrongdoing before a Congressional subcommittee in New York City, the damage was done and his reputation and political career were left tainted. Thomas Nast showed little regard for Samuel Tilden even though he was one of the main persecutors who put William Magear Tweed (1823-1878), better known as 'Boss Tweed' and other members of the Tweed Ring in prison. Thomas Nast believed Samuel Tilden and his people were hypocritical for delaying the battle against Boss Tweed and the Ring. William Tweed was one of the most notorious men in the city of New York and the ringleader of the ‘Tammany Ringdom’, which, through corruption and coercion, held the entire city of New York in its power. After his death, Samuel Jones Tilden left a trust fund to establish a free public library and in 1885 it was combined with the Astor and Lenox libraries to form the New York Public Library. The epitaph on his gravestone bear the words; "I Still Trust in The People". | |
| Rutherford B. Hayes (1822-1893), worked as a lawyer until 1861, when the American Civil War broke out. He began his military career in the volunteer company where he was soon promoted to major of the 23rd Regiment of Ohio Volunteer Infantry under, Stanley Mathews, Lieutenant Colonel. During the war, Rutherford Hayes leadership and bravery was noted by his superiors and Ulyses S. Grant (1822-1885), future 18th President of the United States. Before the end of the war, he was promoted to lieutenant colonel, colonel, brevet brigadier general and finally, major general. While still serving in the military, he was elected into the House of Representatives for Ohio. After the war, Hayes continued his activities in politics and worked with the congressional Republicans to pass the Civil Rights act of 1866 (An act created to protect the Civil Rights and liberties of every person in the United States) . He was in favor of and voted for the Reconstruction Acts, originally established to help the South deal with the effects of the Civil War and to protect the rights of African Americans. In 1868, Hayes was elected as the 29th Governor of Ohio and was reelected to a second term, which ended in 1872. In 1875 Hayes was nominated and elected to a third term as Governor of Ohio and remained in that position until 1876. Rutherford Hayes was a great believer in education and during his three terms in office as Governor of Ohio, he oversaw the establishments of a school for deaf-mutes a reform school for girls and he expanded the Agricultural and Mechanical College (now known as Ohio State University). Thomas Nast addresses this by including the following political slogans aimed at better education in this presidential campaign engraving, they read; "The Public Schools" and "The ABC of our Republic". In 1876, Hayes campaigned for the highest political position, the presidency of the United States of American. As a result of highly disputed electoral votes, an 'Electoral Commission' later known as the 'Compromise of 1877 awarded the presidency to the Republican Candidate, Rutherford B. Hayes. During his term in office, Hayes, attempted to make reforms to laws, stop political coercion and end corruption. He fought for the reform of the civil service and supported "the divorce of the Legislature from the nominating power". Hayes struggled to revise the jurors' test oath and to enforce the Federal Elections Law of 1871 (a law that was invoked to prevent electoral fraud). Throughout his presidential term, the Democrat-controlled House unremittingly filibustered his proposals in order to restrict his power. A filibuster is a parliamentary or legislative procedure which allows party members to delay, obstruct or prevent a vote on any given issue. In the end, President Rutherford Hayes and his Republican Party prevailed and were able to defeat Congress in its efforts to restrain federal power to monitor federal elections. Hayes also introduced important reforms which helped the economic recovery and growth of the country. Unfortunately, President Hayes failed to convince the South concerning the issue of racial equality and was forced to execute one of the worst bargains made through the 'Compromise of 1877'. It involved the removal of the the federal troops from the South, effectively ending the 'Reconstruction'. By enforcing this arrangement, President Hayes, under duress and with a 'Democrat-controlled House', failed African Americans and empowered white supremacy organizations that backed the Democratic Party such as the 'White League' (sometimes linked to the Ku-Klux Klan), and the' Red Shirts' (a paramilitary group acting as the military arm of the Democratic Party in North Carolina and Mississippi). After that, African Americans would have to endure intimidation, discrimination and violence as citizens of the United States for over a century. | |

| Harper & Brothers: A leading American publishing and printing firm based in New York, 'Harper & Brothers' was originally founded by James Harper (1795-1869) and his brother, John Harper (1797-1875), when they opened their first printing firm as 'J. & J.' in 1817. Later, their two younger brothers, Joseph Wesley Harper (1801-1870), and Fletcher Harper (1806-1877), joined the firm. During the following years, their printing firm flourished. In 1833, 'J. & J.' was renamed as 'Harper & Brothers', and under that name, their firm entered into the publishing business. Harper & Brothers was among the first printing and publishing firms to adopt case binding and to use stereotype and electrotype printing plates and steam - powered printing. It has been noted that by the mid 19th century, 'Harper & Brothers' had become one of the largest printing and publishing firms in the world. | |
| Harper & Brothers Periodicals, Journals & Magazines: During the second half of the nineteenth century, periodicals, journals and magazines such as Harper's Weekly, New York, 'Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper', 'Every Saturday', 'The Aldine', Puck in the United State and 'The Illustrated London News', 'The Illustrated London Almanack', and 'The Graphic', in England, created pictorial journalism on a grand scale. They covered, literature, arts, sciences, sports, social and political events, fashion, and fiction. Wood engraving (invented around 1780) at last made it possible for publishers to print images and words on the same page without the extravagant costs of producing etchings or engravings from metal plates. From about 1850 engraving upon wood became the dominant means of distributing information along with pictorial imagery, and continued in this role until around 1900, when the practical application of photography took control. In addition to being one of the most prestigious printing and publishing firms for books and printed matter commissioned by both national and international firms, 'Harper & Brothers' decided to enter the 'Big Race' for journalistic supremacy. They began to issue their own illustrated periodicals, starting with the launch of their first magazine, originally known as 'Harper's New Monthly Magazine', later known as 'Harper's Magazine'. It was first issued in (1850) and continued to do so into the twenty first century. 'Harper's Magazine' is now published by HarperCollins Publishers LLC. It was originally established as a literary and educational monthly magazine dealing with politics, culture, arts and finance. As their circulation increased it was followed by 'Harper's Weekly (A Journal of Civilization)' (1857-1916), an illustrated and interesting higher toned, better illustrated paper featuring political issues, domestic and foreign news, literary fiction and other stories. The Elephant Walks Around - And the Still Hunt is Nearly Over (Samuel Tilden vs Rutherford Hayes, 1876 Presidential Election), is an original wood engraving designed by the famous American Satirical artist Thomas Nast in 1882 for 'Harper's Weekly'. In 1867, Harper & Brothers launched their first issue of 'Harper's Bazar', a magazine that is still active today, and is now published by the Hearst Corporation. 'Harper's Bazar', started out as a weekly periodical (magazine), mostly for feminine interests and culture. It was devoted to various departments of literature, fashion and domestic arts and as noted in their 1886 issue "A Repository of Fashion, Pleasures, and instruction". 'Harper & Brothers' offered a subscription to all three publications for only 10.00 dollars a year or any two for 7.00 dollars, and special offers for group subscriptions. They also sold 'Popular Editions' at a higher price and' Household Editions' at a lower price. In 1878, the Franklin Square Library was formed and was renamed 'Harper's Franklin Square Library' in 1881, remaining active until 1893. 'Harper & Brothers' was among of the first to publish a selection of books to help confront and regulate the piracy of their material by rogue printers and publishers. Those books were published under the Harper Franklin Square Library imprint at a loss and were available through subscriptions offered to businesses (Booksellers). In 1879 they began the weekly publication of 'Harper's Young People', an illustrated magazine aimed at America's boys and girls of all ages. The publication contained both instructional and entertaining topics which included a variety of well written stories, poetry, serials, games, and other areas of interest written and illustrated by noted authors and artists. In 1895, 'Harper's Young People' was renamed as 'Harper's Round Table', another well written and illustrated weekly magazine for America's youth, but this one was aimed at an older generation of kids (teenaged boys), priced at five cents a copy or two dollars a year. The last issue of 'Harper's Round Table' was published in 1899. | |
| Harper & Brothers Illustrators: The firm of Harper & Brothers, New York hired some of the finest engravers, illustrators and journalists of the period. Throughout its life, skilled artists maintained a very high level of craftsmanship in their illustrative art, thus, for well over one hundred years, these original engravings have attracted serious collectors who recognize both the historic and artistic value of these images. In fact, one of the first avid collectors of these engravings was Vincent Van Gogh, who, for several years, entertained thoughts of working as an illustrative artist for the publications. American illustrators who contributed works to 'Harper & Brothers' included such distinguished painters and watercolor artists as, Frederick Stuart Church (1842-1924), who began his career as an illustrator for Harper's designing graceful fantasy scenes, many dealing with women, children and animals. Walter Sheila (1838-1909), and Stephen G. McCutcheon, (c. 1846 - 1884) illustrated articles and fiction to such magazines as as Harper's, Scribner's, St. Nicholas and The Century. William Ludwell Sheppard, 'W. L. Sheppard' (1833-1912), is recorded to have illustrated the Southern side of the American Civil War, contributing many of those designs to Harper's and Picturesque America. Winslow Homer (1836-1910), contributed his first of many designs to Harper's Weekly of New York in 1857. Homer's role as a pictorial journalist during the American Civil War is of significant historical importance. The artist, Frederick Dielman (1847-1935), contributed such works as the Celebration of the Abolition of Slavery in the District of Columbia by the Colored People in Washington, Harper's Weekly (1866), and Mirandy Encourages Phil's Talent, Harper's Bazaar (1886). Americas's political cartoonist, Thomas Nast (1840-1902), began his legendary association with Harper's in 1857, just in time for the outbreak of the American Civil War. Nast's famous illustration of Merry Old Santa Claus (1881), which appeared in Harper's Weekly is responsible for our modern day image of Santa. The Elephant Walks Around - And the Still Hunt is Nearly Over and He Wants change Too are striking examples of the illustrations created by Thomas Nast for Harper's Weekly, New York, (Journal of Civilization). During the last part of the nineteenth century and the first quarter of the 20th century another important group of young artists began to appear, such as, Arthur Burdett Frost (1851-1928), an American artist mostly known for his sporting subjects. Frost contributed many illustrations to Harper & Brothers periodicals, such as, An Archery Meeting, Harper's Weekly (1879), Woodcock Shooting, Harper's Weekly (1893), The Sparrow's Christmas Dinner Harper's Bazar (1886), etc. William James Aylward (1875-1956), began his career as an illustrator for both Harper's and Scribner's magazines, creating such as The Christmas-Tree Ship, Harper's Weekly, (1909), The Secret Sharer, Harper's Magazine (1910), Steamboating Through Dixie written and illustrated for Harper's Monthly (1915). And, Harry Everett Townsend (1879-1941) established a strong reputation as a leading illustrator and was regularly commissioned by such popular magazines as Harper's, The Century and McClure's. By 1962, the firm of 'Harper & Brothers' merged with Row, Peterson and Company' and was renamed as 'Harper & Row'. The firm of 'Harper & Row' continued to run under that name until 1990, when it was acquired by William Collins & Sons and renamed as 'HarperCollins'. Today, the firm of HarperCollins remains one of the largest publishing companies in the world. | |
