The artist James Gillray skillfully portrays the vibrant atmosphere of political fervor and entertainment that characterized this event. In the foreground, we see a platform where an animated figure passionately addresses the crowd.

The composition showcases both men and women actively participating in this electioneering spectacle. It provides a fascinating glimpse into 18th-century politics as people gather on farmland transformed into a bustling fairground for this occasion. Gillray's etching masterfully combines satire and metaphor to convey his message about political reform during this era. His work subtly hints at plans to "new-dress" or revamp the Constitution through clever symbolism like setting a new nap on it, referencing Shakespearean imagery. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery today, this artwork not only serves as historical documentation but also highlights Gillray's talent for capturing social commentary through artistry.
