"At Last The Democratic Tiger Has Something To Hang On" is a political cartoon created by Thomas Nast, a prominent 19th-century American caricaturist and editorial cartoonist. Published in Harper's Weekly on October 18, 1871, this cartoon is one of Nast's most famous works and is often cited as a critical piece in the history of American political satire. The cartoon emerged during a period of intense political corruption in New York City, specifically targeting the Tammany Hall political machine and its leader, William M. "Boss" Tweed.

In the cartoon, Nast employs the imagery of a tiger, symbolizing the Democratic Party and Tammany Hall, to convey his message. The tiger is depicted as a menacing beast, draped over a tree branch, with its claws sunk into a figure representing Columbia, a personification of the United States. This powerful visual metaphor underscores the predatory nature of Tammany Hall's corruption and its detrimental impact on American democracy.

Nast's work was instrumental in raising public awareness about the extent of political corruption in New York City. His relentless campaign against Boss Tweed and Tammany Hall through his cartoons played a significant role in the eventual downfall of Tweed, who was arrested and convicted of embezzlement and other crimes. The cartoonist's ability to distill complex political issues into compelling and accessible images made his work highly influential and widely recognized.

"At Last The Democratic Tiger Has Something To Hang On" exemplifies Nast's mastery of visual satire and his commitment to social and political reform. It remains a significant artifact in the study of American political history and the role of media in shaping public opinion.
