The image showcases a lively scene where a street vendor stands proudly, surrounded by eager customers. Steam rises from his cart, carrying the tantalizing aroma of hot food that fills the air. Intriguingly, just above the vendor's head hangs a large poster proclaiming "Murphy for Manchester". This clever political satire piece was published in Judy, or the London Serio-Comic Journal on September 23rd, 1868. It humorously captures the spirit of election season with its witty commentary on both politics and everyday life. The artist skillfully depicts various individuals in this vibrant snapshot of urban existence - people from all walks of life who have come together to enjoy some piping hot delicacies. Their animated expressions reveal their anticipation as they eagerly await their turn to savor these delectable treats. Through this artwork, we are transported into an era where street vendors played an integral role in shaping city culture and providing sustenance for its inhabitants. The meticulous details bring forth a sense of nostalgia while also highlighting society's fascination with political campaigns and satirical cartoons during that time. "All Hot! Or, Murphy for Manchester" is not only a visual delight but also serves as a historical document capturing moments that would otherwise be lost to time. It reminds us of our shared human experiences across different centuries and how art can beautifully encapsulate
