The County Council Election, the Adventures of a Presiding Officer on his Way to the Polling Place in Essex
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving that takes us back to a bygone era. Created by Alfred Chantrey Corbould in 1889, this illustration captures the essence of local elections and the challenges faced by those responsible for overseeing them. In this lively scene, we witness the presiding officer's eventful journey towards the polling place. The roads are filled with carts drawn by various animals - from majestic horses and ponies to sturdy shire horses and even racehorses. As he travels through picturesque landscapes, our protagonist encounters unexpected obstacles along the way. The day starts slowly as his horse gets stuck in sandy terrain, causing delays in reaching their destination. Meanwhile, voters eagerly make their way towards the polling station, adding to the excitement of election day. Amidst all these adventures and mishaps, it becomes clear that change is in motion as people exercise their democratic right. Corbould's attention to detail brings this enchanting scene to life – capturing not only human activity but also showcasing an array of wildlife animals such as livestock and farm animals indigenous to Europe and Iceland. This print serves as a reminder of both historical significance and timeless themes surrounding elections: perseverance amidst challenges, community engagement, and ultimately shaping our collective future through democratic processes.
