...square inches, that journalistic institution still manages to encapsulate crises, expose pretensions and eviscerate swollen egos-all with a few well-drawn strokes. Two new paperback editions underscore the point. On the far side of history, Thomas Nast: Cartoons & Illustrations (Dover) reveals a mature artist whose work could exhibit the bite of Daumier and the mordant wit of Twain. His meticulous crosshatching created three ineradicable symbols: the Democratic Donkey, the Republican Elephant and the Tammany Tiger.

Occasionally someone seems to balk at imagination, although nobody is short on skill, and these pieces smack of exercises. A deftly penciled sketch in one corner, for example, depicts a male nude from the rear, familiarly postured with one hand on his hip and his body's weight shifted to one foot. A canvas in variegated blue with purplish undertones, of a bedroom swathed in yellow light, reflects the dappled brush-work and impressionistic style of Monet...
