Thomas Nast portrayed Boss Tweed as a vulture feeding on the city of New York because Tweed, as the leader of the corrupt political machine Tammany Hall, embezzled millions of dollars from the city through fraudulent contracts and kickbacks. Tweed's greed and corruption were seen as him preying on the resources of New York City like a vulture would prey on its food.
