"A Group of Vultures Waiting for the Storm to Blow Over—Let Us Prey" is a political cartoon by Thomas Nast, a prominent 19th-century American cartoonist known for his influential work in Harper's Weekly. Created in 1871, this cartoon is a scathing satire of the political climate of the time, particularly targeting the corrupt politicians of the Tammany Hall, a political organization in New York City.

The cartoon depicts a group of vultures, anthropomorphized as human figures with the heads of birds of prey, perched ominously on a barren tree. The vultures are dressed in contemporary clothing, symbolizing the corrupt politicians they represent. The title, "Let Us Prey," is a play on words, substituting "prey" for "pray," and alludes to the predatory nature of the politicians as they await the passing of a metaphorical storm, possibly representing a political scandal or upheaval.

Nast's work is characterized by its strong moral and political stance, and "A Group of Vultures Waiting for the Storm to Blow Over—Let Us Prey" is no exception. It serves as a visual critique of the corruption and greed that Nast perceived in the political system of his time. The cartoon is an example of how Nast used his art to influence public opinion and advocate for political reform.

As a significant piece of political commentary from the Reconstruction era, this cartoon is an important artifact of American history and political discourse. It reflects the power of editorial cartoons to shape public perception and to hold the powerful to account. Thomas Nast's contributions to American journalism and political cartooning remain influential, and his work continues to be studied for its artistic merit and historical significance.
