"Cartoon featuring William Marcy 'Boss' Tweed (1823–1878) by Thomas Nast" refers to a series of political cartoons created by the influential American cartoonist Thomas Nast, which were published primarily in the magazine Harper's Weekly. Nast's cartoons are renowned for their scathing satire and played a significant role in the public outcry against the corrupt practices of William M. Tweed, the "Boss" of the Tammany Hall political machine in New York City during the 1860s and 1870s.

Thomas Nast, often considered the "Father of the American Cartoon," used his artistic talents to crusade against political corruption and was a staunch advocate for civil rights and the Union cause during the Civil War. His depictions of Boss Tweed and Tammany Hall were not only artistically significant but also had a profound impact on American politics and journalism. Nast's work brought the issues of graft and political corruption to the forefront of public awareness, and his iconic images, such as the bloated figure of Tweed and the Tammany Tiger, became powerful symbols of political vice.

The cartoons featuring Boss Tweed are characterized by their detailed and vivid imagery, biting humor, and bold commentary. Nast's relentless campaign against Tweed and his associates contributed to the eventual downfall of the Tweed Ring. The public outrage generated by these cartoons, combined with journalistic exposés and legal efforts, led to Tweed's arrest and conviction.

Nast's cartoons remain a significant part of American political history and are studied for their artistic merit, their role in the evolution of political cartooning, and their impact on the practice of journalism and public perception of corruption. These works are preserved in various institutions and continue to be the subject of scholarly analysis and public interest.
