Thomas NastAmerican, born Germany, 1840 - 1902

During America’s Gilded Age (1860s-1890s), Thomas Nast (German, 1840-1902) provided poignant political commentary as a cartoonist for Harper’s Weekly, a monthly periodical with a Republican leaning. Addressing government scandals, anti-immigration sentiment, and race relations in America, Nast displayed injustice through a readily available, visual medium. (Written by Mary Bei Prince, Class of 2020)
