"What are you going to do about it?"

(
The People's Charter, Chartism, Tammany Ring Charter, William M. Tweed, Boss Tweed, Columbia, Governor John T. Hoffman,
Political Cartoon, Thomas Nast, Harper's Weekly, A Journal of Civilization)
Issued 1872, 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. This full page political cartoon depicts William M. Tweed holding "The Tammany Ring Charter", ruled constitutional by New York City Governor John T. Hoffman standing oppose Columbia holding The People's Charter, ruled unconstitutional by the same Gov. Hoffman. Governor Hoffman stands between the two feuding parties.
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. Leaf displays an old label, "490 Innes LD 835" unfortunately placed over the title. However, the tag does not cover any of the cartoon, and is thus perfectly suited to display. Provided photos show the front and back of the item, not two discrete prints.
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.
