"NAST: STATE AID CARTOON. The American River Ganges: one of Thomas Nast's vitriolic cartoon comments, 1871, on the question of state aid to parochial schools, in which members of the New York City Tweed Ring are shown looking on as Roman Catholic bishops in the guise of crocodiles prepare to attack the public school system". This powerful and thought-provoking print captures a significant moment in American history. Created by renowned political cartoonist Thomas Nast in 1871, it depicts a scathing commentary on the contentious issue of state aid to parochial schools.
