EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Parliamentary Elections and Electioneering in the Old Days" takes us back to the 19th century, providing a fascinating glimpse into the world of politics during that era. The print showcases a scene filled with vivid details and characters engaged in various election-related activities. The image depicts a bustling street where parliamentary elections are taking place. People from all walks of life can be seen participating in this democratic process, highlighting the significance of public engagement in shaping political outcomes. Prominent figures such as Ald Waithman, Lyndhurst, and Sir R Peel are captured addressing crowds or engaging in conversation with voters. Electioneering is at its peak as campaigners distribute pamphlets and election squibs to sway public opinion. Satire plays an important role too, with caricaturist George Cruikshank's work adding humor and commentary to the electoral proceedings. The picture also portrays scenes of lively debate between politicians like J C Hobhouse and Major Cartwright while plebeians listen intently. Even vagabonds find their way into this vibrant setting, emphasizing how elections were events that united people from all social strata. Overall, this engraving not only captures the essence of parliamentary elections but also serves as a historical record showcasing how democracy evolved over time. It reminds us of the importance placed on civic participation throughout history and encourages reflection on our own modern-day electoral processes.
