Senator Dolph of Oregon (Joseph Norman Dolph), ca. 1894, Graphite and pen and black ink on scratchboard, sheet: 13 1/2 x 10 1/4 in. (34.3 x 26 cm), Drawings, Thomas Nast (American (born Germany), Landau 1840–1902 Guayaquil), Nast’s striking caricature of the United States senator from Oregon probably dates to 1894, the year that Dolph lost his bid for a third term. The image resembles a photograph published in a Congressional directory of 1893, but Nash exaggerated the nose and brows and suggested an outsized personality by giving the long beard and hair a wild energy
