NEW YORK:


figure




This entertainment will illustrate, by description and reproduction, the many ideas of the late Thomas Nast, that have become indispensable to the art of pictorial expression, giving the history and recalling the circumstances under which so many of the things we see every day were originated in the exhaustless mind of this wonderful man.  This artist and diplomat; this destroyer of corruption; this greatest political cartoonist the world has ever known; one of this country's most ardent patriots, who may justly be ranked with Washington, Lincoln and Grant.




Thos. Nast, Jr., will also give an exhibition of his ambidextrous drawing, which has entertained, amused and astonished his audiences.  A rival of no one, he has entered a field unoccupied, wherein he demonstrates that he has not only inherited a rich measure of his lamented father's great talent, but is also able to accomplish a wonderful feat in ambidexterity, thus enabling him to give the unique and instructive entertainments he is now presenting.
