“We Are On the Home Stretch!”

There is often a problem in dealing with Nast's
cartoons in isolation from one another. Frequently they develop as
interdependent entities, one building upon or growing out of another. One of the
rewards of close study is being able to watch the cartoonist's mind at work. The
day after Whitelaw Reid's New York Tribune editorial prompted Nast to add
"We Are On the Home Stretch!" to "Tidal Wave," a
letter appeared in the New York Times (October 10) which provided Nast with the
germ of another cartoon: "The New-York Tribune of this morning says: 'We
are on the home stretch, and confident of success.' True! H.G. is going home to
Chappaqua [his rural estate], and has every prospect of reaching there." |
