Thomas Nast's wood engraving *On the Move* ran in *Harper's Weekly* on March 22, 1879, on page 232, and its title points to the relocation of Native peoples, a recurring subject of public debate in that decade. Nast, the magazine's best-known political cartoonist, often used his drawings to comment on federal Indian policy, and the weekly's wood engravings carried those comments to a broad readership. The catalog's subject tags are unverified, so the cartoon itself and the surrounding magazine text are the best guides to its specific message.
