His See also:mother took him to New See also:York in 1846. He studied See also:art there for about a See also:year with See also:Theodore See also:Kaufmann and then at the school of the See also:National See also:Academy of See also:Design. At the See also:age of fifteen he became a draughtsman for See also:Frank See also:Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper; three years afterwards for Harper's Weekly.

His first serious See also:work in See also:caricature was the See also:cartoon " See also:Peace " in 1862, directed against those in the See also:North who opposed the See also:prosecution of the See also:Civil See also:War. This and his other cartoons during the Civil War and Reconstruction days were published in Harper's Weekly; they attracted See also:great See also:attention, and Nast was called by See also:President See also:Lincoln " our best recruiting sergeant." Even more able were Nast's cartoons against the See also:Tweed See also:Ring See also:conspiracy in New York See also:city; his caricature of Tweed being the means of the latter's See also:identification and See also:arrest at See also:Vigo. In 1873, 1885 and 1887 Nast toured the See also:United States as lecturer and See also:sketch-artist, but with the See also:advent of new methods and younger See also:blood his See also:vogue decreased.

Johnson and his Reconstruction policy; had ridiculed See also:Greeley's candidature, and had opposed inflation of the currency, notably with his famous " rag-baby " cartoons, but his advocacy of civil service reform and his distrust of See also:Blaine forced him to become a See also:Mugwump and in 1884 an open supporter of the Democratic party, from which in 1892 he re-turned to the Republican party and the support of See also:Harrison.
