"The Elephant Walk Around"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The association of the elephant with the Republican party occurred originally in
an 1860 issue of Railsplitter and an 1872 issue of Harper's Weekly. It was,
however, Thomas Nast's elephantine caricatures that caught the attention of
other cartoonists and the public, thereby leading to the elephant becoming the
official symbol of the Republican party. Nast's first two images of the
Republican Elephant appear in 1874 in which the partisan pachyderm falls into a
trap after the Democrats win control of the House of Representatives. |
