Thomas Nast (1840-1902) was an influential illustrator and political cartoonist. His illustrations -- especially those created during his 25-year career working for Harper & Brothers -- reflected his political and social leanings. Nast was a friend and supporter of Ulysses Grant. This engraving appeared in Harper's Weekly on August 1, 1885, about ten days after the former President's death.
