Title: Ay, There's the Rub - You Can't Change the Nature of the Animal. You Dirty Boy (Grover Cleveland's Governor of New York 1882 Campaign and his Fight Against Political Corruption)
Designer: Nast, Thomas (Landau, Bavaria, 1840 - Ecuador, 1902)
Date: October 21, 1882
Medium: Original Wood Engraving
Publisher: Harper & Brothers, New York
Publication: Harper's Weekly, New York
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. Ay, There's the Rub - You Can't Change the Nature of the Animal deals with Grover Cleveland's Governor of New York 1882 Campaign, American political reforms, and his fight against corruption as Governor of New York. This is a fine original example of Nast's political satire.
  Ay, There's the Rub - You Can't Change the Nature of the Animal (Grover Cleveland's Governor of New York 1882 Campaign & his Fight Against Political Corruption): Thomas Nast's satire on political corruption in New York is evident in this original engraving entitled, Ay, There's the Rub - You Can't Change the Nature of the Animal. You Dirty Boy. It depicts a portrait of Grover Cleveland (1837- 1908), governor of New York (Jan. 1, 1883 - Jan. 6, 1884), dressed as an old servant woman, washing out the Tammany Tiger. One of Nast’s most potent symbols, the ‘Tammany Tiger”, had been effectively used to portray the brute power and destructiveness of this Mafia-like gang. Stephen Grover Cleveland first began his career as district attorney for Erie County and soon after he accepted the position of Sheriff of Erie County, New York (1871-1873). It wasn't long before it was well known that he was a tough opponent of political corruption, a major factor in the victorious campaign that made him the 34th mayor of Buffalo (January 2, 1882 - November 20, 1882). In the fall of 1882, he left that position to accept another nomination, this time as the Democratic nominee for the governorship of New York against the Republican nominee Charles J. Folger. The New York Sun posted an eulogy which read; "Grover Cleveland, now Mayor of Buffalo and the Democratic candidate for Governor of New York is worthy of the highest public confidence etc, etc." Cleveland won the election by a landslide and that same year, the Democrats won control of both houses of the state legislature. This Thomas Nast satire highlights some of the issues Clover Cleveland was fighting against during his term as governor of New York. These included (Reforming the Democratic party, Expunging Corrupt Members, Washing Out Stains, The Tammany Ringdom and More). This meant taking on the Tammany Hall political machine, who supported Democratic nominees in the elections. Like Governor Cleveland, Thomas Nast launched an equally important crusade against the William M. Tweed, 'Boss Tweed', who died in Ludlow Street Jail on April 12th, 1878 & the Tammany Ringdom), which, through corruption and coercion, held the entire city of New York in its power. For years, Nast stood alone against this mob, creating some of his finest satirical works. By 1880, his engravings had not only played an important role in ousting this mob from power, but had also helped to put its ringleaders in prison. Nast has posted a sign on the wall and added text tattoos all over the Tammany Tiger, they read; "Will the Cleveland Brush Wipe Out the Democratic Stains from 1860 to 1882 in one Stroke?" (Sign on the Wall). The tattoos read; "New York Riots", (Reference to the New York Draft Riots of 1863 and the 'Orange Riots' of 1870 & 1871 between the 'Orangemen' and Irish Catholics), "Ballot-Box stuffer" (Reference to 19th century electoral corruption and fraud), "Copper Head" (Reference to the Copperheads, a group of Democrats living in the Northern United States who opposed the American Civil War), " Spoil Cord" (Reference to the 'Spoils System', a practice where the victorious political party assigns government jobs to friends and relatives as a reward), " Tammany Rinc" (Reference to the Democratic Tammany Hall political machine). The two large wash tubs makes reference to the boundary and fisheries disputes, particularly after the American Civil War and the Canadian Confederation of 1867), the buckets read; "Lake Erie" (left) and "Lake Ontario" (Right). In 1884, Grover Cleveland, Governor of New York was nominated as the presidential candidate. He became the 22nd president of the United States (1885-1889), and served a second term (1893-1897), as the 24th President of The United States of America.
  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. Ay, There's the Rub - You Can't Change the Nature of the Animal 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. Ay, There's the Rub - You Can't Change the Nature of the Animal 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.
