Thomas Nast Political Cartoon Up for Sale

[L Verge]

Bob Cook has sent a very appropriate advertisement from eBay given the unfortunate actions of one gentleman from Florida this week:

Harper's Weekly 1879 - Freedom to assassinate those we don't like! Thomas Nast:


eBay item #251857545670.

I tried to cut and paste the political cartoon that Nast created in 1879, but failed. It is a good historical point, however, that politics can turn ugly and brutal on many levels and at any point in world history.

On a lighter note, Thomas Nast's home is a few blocks away from my neighborhood. It is still beautiful:

Thanks to Steve for sending this image. It's from the Hathitrust site/archive of Harper's issues (originally from the University of Michigan).
