Democratic Tiger Republican Lamb Washington Arena 1876 Harpers Weekly Nast Print

Description

They Both Lie Together in the Washinton Arena.
(
Democratic Tiger, Republican Lamb, Washington Area,
Political Cartoon, Thomas Nast, Harper's Weekly, A Journal of Civilization)
Issued 1876, New York, by Harper & Brothers. Art by
Thomas Nast.
Original 19th century antique offset printed image. An actual printed leaf taken from this scarce old periodical, published at the date listed, and drawn by the famous American-German editorial cartoonist, Thomas Nast, Father of the American Cartoon.
Image depicts the Democratic Tiger claiming, "I have reformed, and am tame." and the Republican Lamb responding, "I--I believe it!".
A nice looking example of printed, ephemeral history with a pleasing age patina. Any minor age flaws are easy to forgive and add to its antique aesthetic. Text, images, and/or advertisements on reverse as issued. An elusive image, worthy of display. Provided photos show the front and back of the item, not two discrete prints.
Print has a soft crease across the middle and some light creasing along one side. Both would be all but invisible if mounted and framed.
Mounted and framed, this piece would make an excellent decoration for your home, restaurant, office, classroom, or any other space where people appreciate the vintage aesthetic of antique printed history.
Measures 16"H x 11"W
